Geneva, August 25, 2023 – Lederer Watches, the vanguard of haute horlogerie, proudly announces the latest culmination of its exceptional journey – Series 3 and Series 4 of the celebrated Central Impulse Chronometer. As the final chapters in this remarkable chronometric narrative, these masterpieces stand as a testament to Bernhard Lederer's dedication to innovation and precision. With only 25 pieces in each series, these collector's editions not only signify exclusivity but also the pinnacle of horological craftsmanship.

The Central Impulse Chronometer Series 3 and Series 4, unveiled during the Geneva Watch Days 2023, present horology aficionados with the choice of two distinctive metals: 18K rose gold and 904L steel. The rose gold edition showcases a 'Black Rhodium' dial, while the steel counterpart boasts a captivating 'Pacific Green' dial. These materials aren't merely choices; they are the embodiment of Lederer's dedication to both elegance and durability.

True to its name, the Central Impulse Chronometer showcases an innovative escapement mechanism that has captivated experts worldwide. Bernhard Lederer's prowess shines through in the 44mm case housing this marvel. The symphony of horological engineering within includes a novel constant-force escapement and a dual gear train, culminating in an intricate dance of two synchronized seconds hands moving in opposing directions. Encased in domed crystals, the Central Impulse Chronometer’s architecture is flawlessly accentuated.

The journey to perfection is a hallmark of Lederer's creations. Series 3 and Series 4, joining their predecessors in Series 1 and 2, culminate in a symphony of precision, embodying the culmination of decades of research and experimentation. Bernhard Lederer's innovative spirit is evident in every detail, from the redesigned remontoire system that guarantees consistent amplitude to the incorporation of twin escapement wheels – a revolutionary achievement in horology.

The dial, adorned with an exquisite guilloché pattern, showcases an exclusive Lederer design – two circles gracefully entwined to form an elegant figure-eight motif. In the rose gold variant, the dial is adorned with a refined Rhodium black hue, while the 904L steel version boasts the captivating Pacific Green shade. This harmonious convergence of design and aesthetics encapsulates the artistry that defines Lederer's timepieces.

These timepieces transcend the boundary between art and science, with the mesmerizing '8' formed by the intertwined apertures symbolizing harmony, infinity, and rebirth. The Central Impulse Chronometer is a manifestation of Bernhard Lederer's visionary pursuit of perfection.

The dedication to perfection extends beyond aesthetics. Series 4, featuring a 904L steel case, showcases Lederer's unyielding commitment to excellence. This superalloy is known for its formidable resistance to corrosion and maintains a luster comparable to precious metals. Lederer's expertise is demonstrated in harnessing the unruly nature of 904L steel, resulting in cases of extraordinary finesse and durability.

Beyond its mechanical marvel, the Central Impulse Chronometer is a study in elegance. The 44mm cases in rose gold and steel are elegant yet robust, with domed crystals offering a peek into the intricate dance within. On the case back, a second domed sapphire crystal exposes the mesmerizing architecture of Caliber 9012 – an interplay of balance, remontoires, and escapements, all meticulously skeletonized and finished to perfection.

Bernhard Lederer's quest for innovation extends even to the minutest of details. The incorporation of lightweight materials in the movement components enhances precision by minimizing inertia. The constant-force remontoire system ensures a consistent and homogenous torque delivery to the balance wheel. The optimized anchor design, combined with the dual escapements, leads to unparalleled chronometric efficiency and isochronism.

The Central Impulse Chronometer is not just a timepiece; it is an artistic embodiment of horological prowess. Bernhard Lederer's dedication to excellence, as demonstrated in Series 3 and Series 4, cements his legacy as a trailblazer in the world of watchmaking.
