Berneron Mirage 34 Lapis Lazuli White Gold

Partially verified

The Berneron Mirage 34 is a wristwatch featuring a case manufactured from white gold with an organic, asymmetric form. It is the second iteration produced by the independent maker Berneron. The dial is hand-carved from Afghan lapis lazuli, which reaches a thickness of 0.40 millimeters at its thinnest point beneath the small seconds sub-dial. Internally, the watch is powered by the caliber 215, which is described as an all-gold movement measuring 2.15 millimeters in thickness. The watch is worn on a natural leather strap. The design emphasizes natural materials and fluid lines, integrating the organic shape of the case with the lapis lazuli dial. The auction description notes that no specific service history is recorded and the object is presented as a collector's item. All technical claims are attributed to the original seller.

Object description

Case and Dial Construction

The Berneron Mirage 34 features a white gold case characterized by its organic and non-symmetrical design. These fluid lines define the aesthetic profile of the timepiece. The dial is crafted from natural lapis lazuli sourced from Afghanistan, noted for its high quality.

This stone is hand-carved to specific dimensions, achieving a thickness of 0.40 millimeters at the thinnest section located directly under the small seconds hand. The lapis lazuli dial is integrated into the organic form of the case.

Movement Specifications

The watch is equipped with the caliber 215 movement. According to the source, this movement is constructed entirely from gold and measures 2.15 millimeters in thickness, which is described as the thinnest all-gold movement currently in production.
