or 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 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.

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.

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.

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 arti- sanal 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.

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.
