Coming together in 2001, seven master watchmakers from the acclaimed “Académie Horlogère des Créteurs Indépendants” (AHCI) came together under the umbrella of German luxury conglomerate Goldpfeil to create a set of limited-edition timepieces celebrating the new millennium. The watchmakers included the likes of Svend Andersen, Vincent Calabrese, Bernard Lederer, Antoine Preziuso, Vianney Halter, Frank Jutzi and Felix Baumgartner. Founded in 1985, AHCI enables members of the association to display their works of art in trade shows.

The present timepiece belongs to the creation of Bernard Lederer. Featuring a 43mm diameter yellow gold case, the regulator-style dial layout displays the day, date, 24-hour as well as a weekly indication positioned on the outer track of the dial. Well-preserved with minimal signs of use and wear, the present example will surely delight collectors of independent timepieces.
