Founded by German master watchmaker Bernhard Lederer, the Lederer brand is a pinnacle of independent haute horlogerie based in Saint-Blaise, Switzerland. With a career rooted in restoration and a membership in the Académie Horlogère des Créateurs Indépendants (AHCI) since 1985, Lederer’s work is driven by a deep respect for historical masters and a philosophy to “Think Different.” The brand gained significant acclaim with the launch of its Central Impulse Chronometer (CIC), a timepiece that reinterprets and masters the complex double-wheel escapement theories of Abraham-Louis Breguet and George Daniels. The CIC, which won the GPHG Innovation Prize in 2021, showcases this mechanical ingenuity through a highly architectural and often open-worked design.
