Each new day is welcomed with awe-inspiring exchanges. Such is the ethos of the SUPERLATIVE podcast series. The latest instalment involves a candid conversation between Ariel Adams, the creator of aBlogtoWatch and our congenial host, and Sylvain Berneron, the pioneering mind behind Berneron Watches. The discussion delves into the intricate world of custom-made watchmaking, the audacity of creative risks, and the craftsmanship involved in establishing an enduring brand.

Berneron, revered for his daring Mirage collection and his audacious design philosophy, recounts his journey from leaving the corporate sphere, staking his own capital to inaugurate Berneron, and electing to stick to his innovative ideas over incorporating market fads.

This creative persistence lies at the core of both his creations and his corporation.

This stimulating dialogue with one of the most unique voices of the luxury watchmaking industry provides invaluable insights for collectors, aficionados, and those intrigued by the evolution of the sphere of luxury timepiece creation. Berneron’s journey reflects the epitome of artistic liberty, delivering undiluted innovation.
