Derestricted Horology by Sylvain Berneron
Trained in industrial design Sylvain Berneron started his career designing exceptional models for BMW, Ducati and MV Agusta. In 2014 he stepped onto the path of watch designing (apparently inspired by WatchesTV videos).
Fast forward a few years, he's a Chief Product Officer at Breitling, an Academy Member of the GPHG, and launched his own brand with the first model "Mirage" already sold out until 2030.
Watch the full video to learn why this fantastic Dali-ish timepiece shouldn't have existed, and what the Berneron brand plans for the future.

WATCH WAKING with "heist out": The Dissident Culture of Watch Collecting
Beautiful design 😊⏰️
We are very grateful for being featured on the channel 🙏🫶🙏 thanks to the whole Watches TV team.
What a watch you managed to create. Congrats!
Such a lovely creation.
I find it so interesting how the Fibonacci sequence keeps appearing within nature. When I was 17 and studying electronics in my country's navy back in the 80's, I discovered that I could create pseudo random numbers by applying feedback taps on a shift register based ripple counter built with J-K flip-flops. While trying to find the optimum positions for the feedback connections (fed into an XOR gate) to feed back to the first bit, I found that it was actually the Fibonacci sequence which defined the optimum configuration to create one of these pseudo random number generators with maximal output length, before the output would repeat. Many years later, while studying cryptography, I found out that this was something that was already known and used. I was not the first to find this! LOL Fibonacci based LFSR PRNGs are a thing! So it seems that the sequence that Fibonacci discovered, continues to be significant even today within computer engineering and computer science!
Very aesthetic piece. The dial is well balanced and flows artistically. Movement is beautiful also.
Phenomenal subject! We are still in the beginnings of learning how the auction houses have helped grow the collectors market for horology. There are still many gaps that we need to fill. Thanks.
Many thanks Mark Andre . As always you are leading the world of fine horology. With great respect and love Nizar
Goegeous piece
Salvador Dali inspired?... Time warped...
So happy to see you again. Best horology channel on CZcams!
Very unique piece
Love that dial
Sweet machine
My God does that guy speaks! Ever thought to cut the cheese and come to the point?
Where and how do I order one?
Very nice 👍👍👍
Awesome Dude. Thank you very much and well,done!!!❤❤❤
Talk to much shit
How to create demand and exponentially increase the worth of an item which can be readily reproduced and therefore of little intrinsic value..
you need to video record your podcasts … this format will never trend for you. show your guests !
Truly a wonderful masterpiece!
I hope the interviewer is dedicated to further grow and improve...develop a chemistry with the interviewee, show passion and finely tuned interaction skills
I went to a Christies in Hong Kong (2018) and among the exotic watches on display were some that were made with endangered animal materials. For example, I noticed some that had ivory sourced from elephant. Those weren't necessarily auctioned, but they were part of the show, which means that Christies was benefiting from their display. My take-away from that was that where money and trade were involved, there will also be amorality, a complicit "blind eye" towards ethical problems. To the wealthy go the world's spoils.
The big auction houses should work with mid-tear and mid-high-tear watch brands, too. That would create interest around those brands and, of course, would attract new and younger audience, tempted by the significantly lower prices. You can find beauty and relevance at any level. I am sure the watch world would appreciate a bit more attention to brands other than… the usual auction suspects 😉
It will be interesting to see how auction results will continue. People are already calling this the smartwatch crisis...
Pierre-Yves is mistaken. Its Wilsdorf himself who started the advertising of Rolex as the watch of choice of exceptional people, give giving a gold watch to Guisan, to Churchill and Eisenhower, back in the early 50s.
Congratulations to the silver! I do not watch myself, but I usually say I support Switzerland when people ask me about ice hockey.
I love it when narrators wear WACKY GLASSES!
Beautiful piece, but respectfully, the brand name is a bit too strange for me.
Very good video and wonderful Grand Seiko brand.
Nice
Excellent!
¿But does it keep time?
Incroyable vidéo ! L'inarrêtable passion d'Yvan se ressent, et tout fait sens.

I once owned an AP 9 Duzium in platinum from the 1950's that was destroyed in a house fire. In it's day, I believe this was the thinnest watch ever made. To this day, I've never been able to replace it
Long live Raketa!
Thier mixing an matching time peices now at the top, this will keep happening as everyone wants an investment and 10-20 years later when its time to cash in they will be told " this is not original its cobbled together YOUR ASKING TO MUCH" and penny will drop Auction house will want nothing to do with it" different staff, yada yada" every excuse, and then all they have is " find the next victim" because they arnt goin to be ripped off, their exquiset humans. REPEAT REPEAT
Honey!? Time to Fu**
They love saying Vacheron Constataaaaa.
I love this peace. The value of this watch has gone up 3-4 times since I owned them.
Хорош трындеть, они мелкие
... Rich people just flexing simply... horrible you could get this or 100 houses on a normal market... I would buy so much cooler stuff then this paper weight in 10 years. I would buy a few of my friends dirt bikes and go to tracks if i had the money. And that's 0.1% of what that watch is being sold for... Dont get me wrong it cool but worth about $1,000-$2,000 I can make one of these if i was a good craftmen... or a watchmaker. for like $600 Theres a dude that payed 1,5 mil for one of these just cuse it was green shows you how they are good at targeting older people with deep pokets... Bro you give me that money and ill give yea 100x that fun you would get out of this watch. This is the same scandel as modern art... or diamonds.
Interesting topic and great expert with PY Donze. If only the host Elizabeth would avoid starting a question with "Yes, but...." Try to get inspired by other podcasts (Scottish Watches, OT Podcast and others). The execution (sound quality, background noise) and "conversation-flow" has room for improvement, but great to have access to these experts and congrats for content-creation of substance and knowledge!
There's always room for improvement. Thank you for your feedback 🙂
Im gonna start a go fund me so that I receive the funds to get one of these placed on my wrist when i check out 🪦
I have lost all interest in Swiss watches. I remember in 70s and 80s Swiss watches were affordable and attainable. My mother had a Camy and we had a Rado and some others. Then the 'Swiss Made' hype jumped in and prices jumped to levels beyond attainable. I saw one comment on artificial scarcity and I remember when I was in Zurich or Luzern every jeweller or watchmaker had Rolexes in stock.
Great questions for the people of the show. Nice work!
Somehow podcasts don't work on CZcams, especially when they're talking about something where the visual aspect is all important. What's the point?
When discussing watches visual support is very important. However, on business topics, such as this one it's less necessary. But your point well taken.
