LAPIS LAZULI 34mm
What if mechanics could be free, and each component could take the optimal space it needs to be as efficient as possible? This is the creative theme of the Mirage collection. An absolute refusal to comply, in order to offer a modern and derestricted approach to mechanical watchmaking. Following the well-proven “form follows function” principle, we then used the Fibonacci sequence to finalize the case proportions, and obtain a harmonious whole.
An unparalleled blend of art
and technic.
Lapis lazuli is a natural stone known for its deep blue color and has been used in art, jewelry, and ornamentation. The stone is primarily composed of lazurite, along with small amounts of calcite and pyrite, contributing to its unique appearance and characteristics. For our Mirage 34, we use only the highest grade Lapis Lazuli, sourced from Afghanistan, and we manually inspect every dial to ensure it aligns with our standards we set for the aesthetics and the quality of our creations.
We also wanted to push the boundaries a little further, by sculpting the small second counter directly into the main plate, leaving a residual thickness of 0.40mm in this area. This delicate operation takes about an hour of work, and is done entirely by hand. We are very pleased with the final result, as a hand-sculpted monobloc dial is a combination that (to our knowledge) hasn’t been offered on the market so far.

CASING
We believe that case size is a highly subjective matter, influenced not only by wrist size but also by individual preferences regarding preferred dimensions. With this new 34 mm case size, we aimed to create a watch that features a more traditional dimension, while also being a piece suitable for couples to share. In short, a modern, charismatic expression of femininity, and a serene masculinity that doesn't try too hard.

Going beyond ‘Swiss made’ label
While the ‘Swiss made’ label only requires 60% of components to be made in Switzerland, we manufacture all our components in the cantons of Neuchâtel and Jura, supporting the local economy. -
24 pieces per year
With a production of 24 Mirage Lapis Lazuli per year, each piece carries its own unique number.Matching numbers
Each metal variant has its own nomenclature, which offers the possibility of having a set with matching numbers. -
