Lederer releases a new version of the Inverto, now in titanium. The announcement was in November 2025, buty we did not cover that release. The watch is currently available at Sincere Fine Watches in Singapore.

Commentary
We have been admirers of Lederer’s CIC (Central Impulse Chronometer) ever since we first set eyes on the prototype way back in 2020. We covered the development until the form which was to be the launch release of the CIC in 2021, and reviewed the watch in detail in 2021. Bernhard released an inverted version, which he calls the Inverto sometime in 2023. This model had a which was initially developed for Only Watch 2023, and a version was offered in a limited edition series of 18 pieces in 2023. This featured a stainless steel case in black DLC in 44mm and was also limited to 18 pieces. And now this 39mm version in a titanium case was announced in November 2025, and now available in Singapore.
The movement remains unchanged as the C. 9019, which is a derivative from the C. 9018 in the 44mm Inverto, and eventually based on the C. 9012 in the regular CIC.
Movement finishing is exceptional.
The movement remains as impressive as ever. The dial-less design with the entire movement stretching across the whole watch face, the near non-existent bezel gives a breathtaking look at the mechanics.
Interestingly, pricing has remained largely level, pitched at CHF 150k in steel (black DLC) and now CHF 152k in titanium.
Also interestingly, Bernhard Lederer submitted the regular CIC 39 in Racing Green as his entry the the LV Watch Prize 25/26. Will he win? It remains to be seen. We will bring you live reports from the event in Paris, scheduled for March 24, 2026.
Release information
A NEW CHAPTER FOR THE INVERTO
Two years after the debut of the first Inverto, Bernhard Lederer introduces a new interpretation in titanium: lighter, more refined, and designed with a quiet sense of purpose. The Inverto Titanium continues a line of work defined by precision engineering, architectural transparency, and a deep respect for traditional chronometry. For Bernhard Lederer, each creation begins as a study in balance, between aesthetics and performance, tradition and innovation. Every component is reconsidered, every function refined, until movement and form achieve a natural harmony. The Inverto Titanium embodies this approach: a mechanical construction stripped of excess, revealing the essential language of its craft.
REVEALING THE INVISIBLE
Its inverted architecture exposes what is usually hidden, the complete choreography of the movement in motion. Gears, springs, and twin remontoirs are set in open dialogue, their rhythm transforming pure mechanics into a visual experience.
The concave titanium case, shaped to follow the wrist, reflects the watch’s technical clarity through an equally thoughtful design language. Every curve and surface has been adjusted by hand in Lederer’s Neuchâtel manufacture to achieve both comfort and continuity of line.
TITANIUM, REIMAGINED
For the first time, titanium becomes central to the Inverto. Light, resilient, and demanding to finish, it reveals every nuance of the craftsman’s touch. Each element is polished entirely by hand, its reflections shifting from soft satin to mirror polish, an interplay of light that underscores the precision of the work.
THE SOUL OF AN INDEPENDENT MANUFACTURE
We are among the very few in contemporary watchmaking to craft our timepieces entirely in-house, a rare privilege that reflects our unwavering dedication to excellence. Over the past two decades, our manufacture has evolved into a refined ecosystem, purpose-built around our creations. Every process, from conception to adjustment, is carried out with uncompromising precision and a genuine joy of creation, the same spirit that drives each new idea to life.
Within the manufacture, more than ninety-eight per cent of the movement’s components are conceived, produced, and adjusted under one roof. This degree of independence enables complete control over function and finish, and allows every idea to be tested, questioned, and refined without compromise.“Without my own manufacture and laboratory, it would be impossible to question, test, and refine each idea. Observation and experimentation are the foundation of progress.”
THE NEW CALIBRE 9019: A SYMPHONY OF PRECISION
At the heart of the Inverto Titanium lies Calibre 9019, a dual detent escapement served by a double constant-force remontoir visible from both sides of the movement. Every fifteen seconds, two synchronised systems release stored energy in perfect unison, maintaining stable torque from the first wind to the last. By revisiting the Gafner principle and reducing unlocking resistance to its minimum, Lederer achieves an exceptional constancy of power delivery, a refinement that serves both precision and longevity.
The coordination of the two remontoirs, regulated by a central metronome, produces the steady fifteen second cadence that defines the watch’s character. This rhythm: quiet, exact, and continuous, gives the Inverto Titanium its unmistakable identity. The geometry of the remontoir system has been completely re-engineered, representing an evolution that connects centuries of horological research with modern construction.
A SECRET DIALOGUE WITHIN THE MOVEMENT
Turning the watch reveals an architectural engraving inspired by the structure of the movement. Beneath it, a small second hand traces its path in harmony with the remontoir’s cycle: a discreet reminder of the mechanism’s living tempo. This hidden detail is typical of Lederer’s approach: technical sophistication presented with restraint, rewarding those who look closely.
Each Inverto Titanium is assembled, regulated, and finished by hand within Bernhard Lederer’s own workshops. Production is deliberately limited, not as an for creating artificial scarcity, but to ensure that every piece reflects the same degree of attention and understanding. From concept to final adjustment, each watch represents months of patient work guided by mechanical logic and the sensibilities of a craftsman.With the Inverto Titanium, Bernhard Lederer continues to explore how traditional mechanisms can evolve in contemporary form. It is a watch that speaks through proportion, precision, and clarity: a pure expression of mechanical time.
