Lederer CIC 39 mm Longitude

Every timepiece is the expression of our mechanical artistry seen through the eyes of the master watchmaker whose ingenuity and passion pursue perfection in the very heartbeat of time.

The Grand Departure

Set sail toward the horizon. With the CIC 39 mm Longitude, Bernhard Lederer opens a new chapter in his endless quest for precision and exploration. A direct heir to the CIC 44 Triple Certified Observatory Chronometer, celebrated for its chronometric mastery and homage to the great observatories, the CIC 39 mm Longitude embodies the perfect encounter between maritime tradition and contemporary Haute Horlogerie.

For centuries, sailors have scanned the sky and the sea to find their way. For them, timekeeping was not merely a tool but a matter of survival, orientation, and absolute trust in their instrument. By infusing this spirit into the CIC 39 mm Longitude, Lederer transforms every second into an invitation to voyage, a nod to those intrepid navigators who dared to push beyond the known world.

The legacy of an icon, precision as heritage

The CIC 39 mm Longitude is far more than a mere aesthetic evolution. It adopts the refined proportions and sleek design of the CIC 39 mm collection while embracing the technical soul and silhouette of the CIC 44 Triple Certified Observatory Chronometer. With its off-centered small seconds, a visual signature inspired by historical marine chronometers, it asserts a unique, instantly recognizable personality.

Every detail of this piece pays tribute to the pioneers of maritime chronometry. Marine chronometers once allowed sailors to calculate longitude at sea, linking mechanical precision to the vastness of the oceans. The CIC 39 mm Longitude perpetuates this legacy, elevating it to a level of sophistication and elegance rarely achieved.

The dials: a homage to the sea

Offered in two interpretations, the CIC 39 mm Longitude invites two distinct journeys.

The pure white dial evokes the dazzling brilliance of sails billowing in the wind, the clarity of a summer sky offshore. Each reflection recalls the calm of a tranquil sea at dawn, where silence is interrupted only by the steady heartbeat of the mechanical movement. The cobalt blue dial evokes the clear, vibrant skies of a sunny day at sea, where sailors navigate with confidence. Beyond its maritime inspiration, cobalt blue symbolizes confidence in navigating, trust, stability, and calmness—in this timepiece, it becomes more than a color, a state of mind.

A rare, symbolic, and assumed exclusivity

In a world where everything accelerates, Lederer chooses patience and rarity. The CIC 39 mm Longitude is limited to only 24 pieces, divided into two extremely exclusive series of 12, one with the white dial, one with the cobalt blue dial.

This number is no coincidence. It echoes the 24 hours that pace our daily lives, the 24 time zones that connect continents, the 24 imaginary meridians that structure our planet and guide sailors. Each piece thus becomes a fragment of a universal cycle, an intimate compass, a faithful companion on the journey through days and nights.

All watches are COSC-certified, an indisputable symbol of precision and reliability. This commitment to excellence affirms the CIC 39 mm Longitude’s vocation: to embody the essence of the finest marine chronometers, all within an elegant and contemporary format.

An exceptional mechanics in service of time

At the heart of the CIC 39 mm Longitude beats the Lederer movement with a double detent escapement, reinforced by two remontoirs d’égalité. A true mechanical masterpiece, this patented caliber reduces energy loss and ensures perfect regularity, even under the most extreme conditions.

The small seconds positioned between 6 and 9 o’clock, a nod to historical observatory dials, reinforces its kinship with the CIC 44 Triple Certified Observatory Chronometer while adding a touch of modernity. The finishes, entirely handmade, reveal an exceptional level of care: fine satin finishing, mirror-polished anglage, pearled surfaces, and deep engravings testify to an artisanal savoir-faire pushed to its absolute limits.

Available in a 39 mm case, perfectly proportioned, the CIC 39 mm Longitude fits elegantly on any wrist. Its fluid curves and contained thickness guarantee optimal comfort, worthy of a modern navigation instrument.

A craft shaped from within

Just as a sailor meticulously builds his vessel before setting sail, every component of the CIC 39 mm Longitude is born within the Lederer manufacture. Here, more than 95% of elements, from the dial to the hands, from the bridges to the tiniest wheels, are designed, crafted, and hand-finished entirely in-house.

This extreme independence is not merely a mark of quality but a philosophy, a way to ensure that each watch embodies the soul and vision of the master watchmaker. Every polished surface, every softened edge, every glint of light tells a story of independence and uncompromising excellence.

Before each voyage, a captain ensures every detail is in perfect order. At Lederer, the same devotion guides the creation of every timepiece, transforming it into a true instrument for exploring time, crafted without compromise, ready to defy the tides and the years.

Conclusion: a compass for the soul

The CIC 39 mm Longitude is a declaration of independence, an invitation to embark on both an inner and an outer journey. It connects the tides to the human pulse, the silence of great crossings to the infinite precision of an escapement.

With only 24 pieces, it speaks to those who see beyond the moment, to those who understand that time is a living material, shaped by the hand of man and guided by his spirit. In each heartbeat, it carries a fragment of ocean, a star, a breath of adventure. Ready to become your personal compass, silent, faithful, and steady, at every new latitude.
