Berneron Mirage 38 Sienna
The Mirage is the first shaped watch to draw its asymmetry from its calibre, rather than from an external free shape. Drawn to let the mechanics go freely (large barrel, direct small second & pocket watch style balance wheel), the movement escapes from the circle to then offer a combination of finesse and very advanced performance. Its total absence of symmetry creates a harmony that is both imperfect and deliberate. With its all-gold construction and special effort devoted to its finesse, it conveys a message of uncompromising elegance and discreet luxury.
Sienna is a pigment that takes its name from the place where it was produced, the Italian city-state of Sienna. In its natural state, raw sienna is yellowish brown, but becomes a reddish brown when heated. It was one of the first pigments used for painting and can be found in prehistoric cave art; it was then further developed for artistic use during the Renaissance.
