My philosophy has always been to master the most complex part of watchmaking : the escapement. With deep respect for tradition and a constant drive to innovate, I strive to create timepieces where mechanical precision meets artistic vision. This, to me, is the true essence of mechanical artistry.
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.
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.
At the heart of the CIC 39 mm lies Lederer’s patented Dual Detent Escapement with two remontoirs d’égalité. Composed of 212 hand-finished components, the calibre reveals its double gear trains and constant-force mechanisms through the open caseback. Each detail is polished, beveled, and decorated by hand, reflecting a pursuit of precision rarely achieved in modern watchmaking.
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.
Available in Deep Blue, Nordic Silver, Black Rhodium, or Racing Green, the CIC 39 mm offers a spectrum of personalities. Nordic Silver embodies purity and light, Black Rhodium conveys contemporary depth, Racing Green radiates bold vibrancy, while Deep Blue reflects serenity and timeless elegance. Far beyond mere color variations, these expressions reveal multiple identities of the same timepiece, each a distinct reflection of LEDERER’s artistry and horological mastery.
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.

Here, ideas are born, mechanisms reinvented, and every component hand-finished with uncompromising dedication. The Manufacture is not only where watches are made, it is where Bernhard Lederer’s vision becomes timeless mechanical artistry.
We stand for progress in Haute Horlogerie, led by integrity, driven by ingenuity, and built for collectors who seek substance over spectacle.
Our timepieces are a symbol of what horological mastery can achieve. But above all, we challenge ourselves.
Relentlessly driven, we push the limits of our craft.
For us, progress is not a goal; it’s a constant mindset.
