Bernhard Lederer, the celebrated independent watchmaker, has returned with yet another masterclass in horological expression: the Inverto Titanium 39 mm.

One of my favorite burgeoning brands is Lederer. The small independent sets its sights on creating incredibly technical movements and houses them in surreptitiously complex cases. Today’s release is unmistakably a Lederer, but it’s a watch in reverse. The Inverto Titanium literally flips the company’s CIC 39 over to present a unique offering.

Two years after the debut of the first Inverto, Bernhard Lederer introduces a new interpretation in titanium: lighter, more refined, and designed with a quiet sense of purpose.

Two years after the debut of the first Inverto, Bernhard Lederer returns for Dubai Watch Week 2025 with a new interpretation in titanium: lighter, more refined, and designed with a quiet sense of purpose.

For most of his career, Bernhard Lederer worked quietly behind the scenes, building complex mechanisms for other brands and collectors.

While the current watchmaking era tends to focus on finishes, Bernhard Lederer has never abandoned his goal : to improve the movement – and the escapement at its heart. He shares some thoughts in this interview.

Just one year ago, I was introduced to Lederer watches. The brand, founded by Bernhard Lederer, creates incredible movements with complex mechanisms. Constant-force escapements and twin gear trains are some of the impressive details.

Bernhard Lederer and his wife Ewa welcomed us into their suite at the Beau Rivage in Geneva. It overlooked the lake, the Jet d’Eau, and the Alps beyond. Bernhard is a romantic and a storyteller at heart. He wooed us. But it wasn’t difficult. His watches were unlike anything else we had seen.

Watches & Wonders 2024 saw the release of numerous mega complications and record setters but what is arguably even more unusual than any of those is the downsizing of a movement that is equipped with one of the most complex and efficient escapements.
