Introducing Bernhard Lederer Central Impulse Chronometer now in 39 mm

During Geneva Watch Days 2023, the Central Impulse Chronometer Series 3 and Series 4 was released. Highlighting an innovative escapement mechanism that has garnered global acclaim, the Central Impulse Chronometer showcases Bernhard Lederer's expertise. Encased within a 44mm case, Lederer's mastery is evident in the symphony of horological engineering, including a constant-force escapement and a dual gear train. This intricate design results in a beautiful display of two synchronized seconds hands moving in opposing directions, exemplifying the pinnacle of horological craftsmanship.

Now, after enhancing the design and movement, the Central Impulse Chronometer comes in a smaller 39mm case, crafted in either white or rose gold with a slim bezel, and it retains a domed sapphire crystal on top and a sapphire crystal caseback, providing a glimpse into intricate details. Additionally, its overall height is reduced from 12.2mm to 10.75mm.

The CIC 39mm model is available with a blue dial for the white gold version or a gray dial for the rose gold version. Additionally, the distinctive interlocking circles forming a figure-eight for the double small seconds sub-dials have undergone slight changes, the top one remains open while the bottom one is closed.

The movement maintains a similar construction to previous editions but has been slightly resized to accommodate the smaller case size. Nonetheless, it retains independent components such as two barrels, two gear trains, two constant-force mechanisms, and two escapement wheels. This manual winding movement operates at 21,600vph (3Hz) and provides a power reserve of 38 hours. Both watches come with either black or brown saddle-stitched leather strap depending on the case material, and each is limited to 20 pieces with a price of CHF 136,800 which is equivalent to AED 568,000.
