Bernhard Lederer showcasing the Remontoire d’Egalité in his Watches

One of exciting Waqt’s coverages during our visit to Geneva was with the master watchmaker Bernhard Lederer, where he presented to us his latest watch at the time, and Lederer explained to us the “Remontoire d’Egalité”, which the manufacturer had developed specifically for the “Central Impulse Chronometer” collection. We talked in detail about These watches in this article.

The remontoir d’égalite employs an additional wheel, positioned between the fourth wheel of the gear train and the escapement. Using a short-duration spring, the intermediate wheel delivers a uniform pulse of power to the escapement. Unlike a regular mainspring that’s designed to harness lots of power, the short-duration spring blade releases its energy over a comparatively short period, in this watch every 10 seconds.
