-**Lederer** is a Swiss watch brand named after the watchmaker and inventor of the same name. +{{tag>Redirect}}
- +
-Bernhard Lederer is a native of Germany. In [[1984]] he began his apprenticeship in the workshop of the [[Wuppertal Watch Museum]]. At that time, he was already working on the restoration of old timepieces. He graduated from the [[Pforzheim Watchmaking School]]. His final project was a watch with a 1000-year [[perpetual calendar]], which solved the problem of the 400-year non-switching time and provided an 800-year accurate moonphase and a display of solar and lunar eclipses. It also featured a gravity escapement. +
- +
-[[1985]], the year it was founded, he became one of the first members of the [[AHCI]], the well-known association of independent watchmakers. +
- +
-In [[2000]], Bernhard Lederer moved to Switzerland and founded his first watch brand, BLU. +
- +
-[[2007]], the BLU MT3 model caused a sensation: It was a [[tourbillon]] timepiece with three speeds (1 minute, 1 hour, 12 hours), no dial and no tourbillon cage for the minute tourbillon. +
- +
-Introduced [[2011]], the Gagarin tourbillon is perhaps his most famous piece, one of the most original and complex tourbillons ever. The tourbillon cage, which rotates in one minute, floats above a 108-minute movement. The two are connected by a spectacular architectural column reminiscent of the Soviet era and visible through a magnifying glass. +
- +
-Since [[2015]], Lederer has been working at the //Manufacture de Haute Horlogerie et Micromécanique// (M.H.M. for short), located in the village of St-Blaise near [[Neuchâtel]]. +
- +
-Since [[2016]], he has been working on the "Masters of Escapements" series, a set of six new [[escapement]]s. The first result is the [[Bernhard Lederer Central Impulse Chronometer |Central Impulse Chronometer]]. +
- +
-[[2021]], the brand is awarded the Innovation Prize at the [[Grand Prix d'Horlogerie de Genève]] for this watch. +
