Love the berneron - glad someone is taking risks with the actual shape of the watch. I've found some other microbrands (anoma for e.g) who are experimenting with new shapes, interesting dials.
Don't spend so much to get a classic, you could pick up a vintage IWC 853, or an Omega Geneve, Constellation, Seamaster, or De Ville from the 60/70s. Cost less then 1K and have far more aura...
