Sylvain Berneron

I'm tempted. Do you put down the whole amount or a deposit? Thanks!

A new video was just posted by Hodinkee with Sylvain Berneron. It’s pretty good and worth a listen.

Mine will be delivered by the end of 2024. I'm in the 13-24 range - my wedding year. The watch is stunning and Sylvain is a great guy to boot.

Another lovely video of the passionate watchmaker. He spoke about an order book until 2029 but he has frozen taking orders for now. Happy to see him doing well. Another interesting thing is 80% of the Mirage (case + movement) is in gold.

very cool watches, but at that price point there is a lot of good competition competing for your dollars. My hunch is collectors picking this up already have a good amount of high horology watches

i was raised to keep one's hands behind them when looking at certain displayed objects. If you desire to hold it, ask. If you want to try it on your wrist, that is an additional question (holding does not necessarily include a wrist shot). Ask. Am sure Sylvian will be fine. I've attended ~200 luxury shows, yes the smaller independents have a lot at stake. Even just the costs to rent the space, take care of meals, etc... the costs can be quite... stressful.

Ken from Delugs sounds like a giant prick. That's my take away from that.

When a story sounds bizarre like that I tend to be skeptical... But hey it's the Internet can say whatever you want I guess and people take it as the truth
