A quick recap on the company itself
INDUSTRY
Our philosophy is Derestricted horology.
Our goal is to bring a meaningful and creative contribution to the watch world.
Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 
With a launch sequence already prepared for the next decade, we'll launch one piece per year, every year during the first week of September. We project a slow but steady growth, to reach an annual production of 600 watches by 2035, spread across 4 collections and 25 references.
COMPANY
Our production is 100% Swiss made and all our suppliers are located within a 50km radius around us.
This modus operandi reflects our desire to support the local economy and limit our energy footprint.

Berneron SA is 100% self-funded & independent; it's owned by the family and the team.

Fair collaboration is one of our core principles, that's why we apply a responsible salary scale (a multiple of 3 between the lowest and highest salary) as well as the opportunity to become a partner (0,2 to 6,0%) after three years of service.
PRODUCT
We produce less, but to the highest quality we possibly can.
Each piece is individually numbered and produced at the rate of 24 pieces per year, for 10 years.

Then the next Series is launched, which is an evolution of the previous one.

SEGMENT
The Quantième collection will cover the highly technical and complicated approach to watchmaking in our portfolio, continuing the work carried out over several decades by institutional brands in this segment.
COLLECTION
Meaning "counter", the Quantième collection was developed with the desire to create a new standard for complicated calendars, as well as future complications.

The user experience was paramount throughout the entire development process, and after two years of intensive research, we are happy to provide a set of innovative technical solutions, such as:
- Readability
We completely re-designed the dial architecture to offer a fluid interaction with the watch.
You'll read the time from top to bottom > hour, minutes & seconds.

And the date from left to right > day, date & month

Combined together, the sequenced information layout and the enlarged apertures offer a significant improvement in terms of readability on the dial.
- Quick set procedure
Complicated calendars often come with a drawback: they require reading the user manual and, in the worst cases, adjustment can take up to 20 to 25 minutes. We decided to tackle this problem
from the inside out by developing our caliber 595 around the "less time setting than winding" philosophy.

Therefore the commands have been placed on the case band in the most intuitive way possible. The TIME and DATE are set with the crown (back and forth), just like on any conventional watch. For the DAY and MONTH, two smooth pushers have been added to the case band, allowing the nearest aperture to be set.
- Safety mode
Calendar watches have a well-earned reputation for being temperamental, if you set them incorrectly, you are often good for of an expensive trip back to the manufacturer; but not here.

In the event of accidental tampering during the setting process, our caliber 595 is equipped with a safety device that resets the date to the first day of the following month.

Exemple: if you push on the MONTH corrector on Jan.31st, the watch will jump to Feb.1 instead of Feb.31 which doesn't exist.
- Steel layer
To overcome the weaknesses of platinum (easily scratched but tedious to repair), our Quantième collection features our new steel layer concept, which involves applying a thin layer of 904L steel (15% of total mass) to a Pt950 platinum case (85% of total mass) in order to increase its longevity. This layer is composed of six distinct components, all removable and replaceable throughout the life of the piece.

You'll then have the best of both worlds: the peace of mind with steel contact points while enjoying the luster and heft of platinum. Not to mention the absence of the "should I polish my watch or not ?" dilemma during a service.

Finally, we like to believe that our new Annual Calendar will finally allow collectors to enjoy sophisticated watchmaking on a daily basis, while removing the usual layer of worry and trouble that accompanies it
ALL-NEW CALIBER 595
Following the dial architecture, the caliber 595 features a unique "cross architecture", in the form of a double regulator (one for the time and the other for the calendar) consisting of 4 instantaneous jumping apertures, 2 swiping hands, 1 retrograde date.

Energy storage and consumption has been a real challenge for this project, as in some cases (such as midnight on December 31st) all five jumps occur simultaneously.

This requires a double barrel and a construction in which the movement stores energy in 4 different places (over the course of 12H, 24H, 7 days and 31 days) to activate the various jumps.
