MIrage

MIROIR WHITE 38mm

The Mirage is the first shaped watch to draw its asymmetry from its caliber, 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.

An unparalleled blend of art
and technic.

We chose a new approach for the creation of our fourth caliber, the Cal. 283, and this is where the "Miroir" designation comes from. Unlike traditional skeletonization or reversal, we opted for a different path by creating an entirely new mirrored movement, echoing the original design of the Calibre 233 (which powers the Mirage Sienna & Prussian Blue). The sector guilloché pattern on the movement serves as a marker for reading the hours, much like a classic dial. Voluntarily omitting a seconds counter to maximize the openwork design, the seconds wheel will act as a running indicator through its own rotation.

CALIBRE 283

Technical excellence is for us inseparable of our search for character and uniqueness. Our calibre 283 aims to capture the best of both worlds, thus blending art and technique in an unparalleled way.
The technical layout breaks free from the traditional circle, to carry a larger barrel, enhancing power reserve. We developed a specific complication: the handset is reversed, enabling a slimmer case profile. The movement structure, made out of 18k solid gold, is also as thin as possible (2,83mm thick).

CASING

Despite its remarkably slim 7mm profile, the Mirage Miroir stands out thanks to the visual depth conferred by its openwork Caliber 283. This architecture offers the best of both worlds, with the subtleties and details of a complex movement, but within the ergonomics of a dress watch. Effortless, even slightly irreverent elegance.
Unlike an apologetic circle, asymmetry brings character and uniqueness, allowing the piece to be noticed while remaining compact on the wrist.

QUALITY STANDARDS

In a desire to take no shortcuts, we have set ourselves a set of demanding standards. They allow us to offer not only high quality timepieces, but also the service that goes with them for a well rounded experience over time.

Going beyond ‘Swiss made’ label
While the ‘Swiss made’ label requires 60% of components to be made in Switzerland, we manufacture 100% of our components in the cantons of Neuchâtel and Jura, supporting the local economy.
Individual number
With a production of 36 pieces per year and per case metal, each piece carries its own unique case number.
Matching numbers
Each metal variant has its own nomenclature, which offers the possibility of having a set with matching numbers.
Warranty
2 years, under terms and conditions.
Maintenance
Service intervals can go from 5 up to 10 years depending on use. Service can be carried out by your experienced & trusted local watchmaker (once we have sent a spare parts kit), or directly by us in Switzerland.

In case you’d like to acquire one of our pieces, feel free to contact us.
