The CIC 39 mm represents a bridge between three centuries of horological science.
Inspired by Breguet and George Daniels, Bernhard Lederer brings to life the first fully functional Dual Detent Escapement in a wristwatch.
Refined in size yet uncompromising in performance, the CIC 39 mm embodies elegance on the outside and radical innovation within.
The Art of Versatility
The Central Impulse Chronometer on the wrist combines style and innovation.
Each watch is delivered with two interchangeable straps, ensuring versatility and elegance for any occasion.
Its discreet refinement conceals a groundbreaking movement dedicated to chronometric precision.
A Window Into Precision
Through the sapphire caseback, the architecture of the CIC calibre is revealed.
The twin gear trains, remontoirs d’égalité, and Bernhard Lederer’s interpretation of George Daniels’ escapement are visible in perfect symmetry.
Every component is hand-finished, a testimony to uncompromising Haute Horlogerie.
In-House Excellence
Over 98% of each timepices is crafted in-house at our independent manufacture.
This mastery extends far beyond the movement: from case machining to dial production, from the creation of indexes and hands to the finest decorative finishes.
Every stage, design, assembly, and rigorous quality control, is carried out under one roof.
Such autonomy is exceptionally rare in contemporary watchmaking and ensures that each timepiece bears the uncompromising stamp of Lederer’s philosophy: independence, precision, and authenticity.
A rarity of distinction
In the world of independent watchmaking, true rarity is not only defined by limited numbers, but by the depth of vision, the courage of innovation, and the integrity of craftsmanship.
At LEDERER, each creation reflects decades of research, a relentless pursuit of chronometric truth, and an artistry that few can master. What sets us apart is not only what you see, but what lies within : groundbreaking mechanics, uncompromising finishing, and a philosophy rooted in making every second meaningful.

Movement
Bernhard Lederer has been developing for over 40 years an experimental approach to watchmaking, where each creation is based on a rigorous analysis of mechanical laws, horological history, and chrono-metric principles. He stands out through a constant commitment to reconciling historical knowledge with innovation, implementing an engineer-researcher methodology while honoring the foundations laid by master watchmakers such as Abraham-Louis Breguet and George Daniels.
Dial
Entirely crafted in-house, the dial of the CIC 39 mm embodies the philosophy of LEDERER : discretion, precision, and elegance. Its design is defined by a single, meticulously executed aperture, offering a refined glimpse into the patented escapement, a window into the watch’s mechanical soul. The layered architecture of the overlapping sub-dials, with their inverted seconds, introduces both technical intrigue and poetic rhythm, allowing time to be read as much as it is felt.
Case
As the refined sibling of the CIC 44 mm, it preserves the elegance and artistry of its predecessor while offering a more compact and sophisticated expression.
Measuring 39 mm in diameter and only 10.75 mm thick, the case harmonizes graceful proportions with durability. Available in 904L steel, white gold, or 9N rose gold, it features domed sapphire crystals on both sides, treated with double anti-reflective coating. These curved surfaces invite the eye to linger on the beauty of the dial and the intricacy of the movement, transforming every glance into an experience of discovery.
Sleek, comfortable, and versatile, the CIC 39 mm case not only safeguards its groundbreaking movement, but also ensures timeless wearability, embodying LEDERER’s philosophy of elegance in every detail.
