Brand
A name that signifies leader and precursor is worthy of unique
personalities. A watch worthy of unique personalities needs to have
sublime qualities. This is how
Kerbedanz was created as a perfect
marriage of watch-making excellence, a unique philosophical concept and a
highly creative visual design.
The name
KERBEDANZ derives from the patronymic of the Brand’s founding President
Tigran Karabedyan.

President Tigran Karabedyan
Paying a tribute to his ancestor, he gives to his company the name
KERBEDANZ which means “the heirs of Karabed” (Karabed meaning Precursor/Leader), both qualifiers being perfectly adapted to
KERBEDANZ
which is a precursor with its concept of specific products’ value. By
the way,
Kerbedanz appears as a Leader regarding its very unique watch
models - or very
limited series - dedicated to a very exclusive
clientele well known in their activities.

History
The ancestor of
Tigran Karabedyan
was a renowned goldsmith with wonderful skills to work the metal. He
had acquired a great notoriety in the entire region where he exercised
his art and was regularly sought to repair failing clocks as well. His
fame is not only because of his competence. Indeed he was a good man,
humble, generous, devoted to his family, and faithful to his friends.
His highly professional skills and knowledge gave him not only a
comfortable life but also the consideration and the respect of his
surroundings.
Anxious to transfer the legacy of his ancestor and in the respect for the ethical values which had marked his life and works,
Tigran Karabedyan
decides to create his own watch brand and to locate it in Switzerland,
in the city of Neuchâtel, the ancestral cradle of the Swiss watch
industry.
The
KERBEDANZ watches have a
dual heritage: the know-how of the ancestral watchmaking and the ethic
value cultivated by a man fair and straight, highly self-demanding in
his professional commitment and in his life as well.
Through its product policy - concept, manufacturing and high quality
finishing - the excellence of its network and overall the respect
dedicated to its Clients,
KERBEDANZ will fully reflect these ethical values.
Ethics
The
KERBEDANZ watches
therefore have a dual heritage: the abilities and the centuries-old
tradition of Swiss luxury watchmaking and the ethical values that have
accompanied a good and righteous man during his whole life, who was
attached to the quality and accuracy of his work as to respect the
rules of life.

KERBEDANZ impregnated with
the fundamental ethical values, base its principles on the respect of
its customers and watches over to offer products of high quality and a
distribution that is as selective as exclusive.
Philosophy
Giving sense to beauty
The
KERBEDANZ brand has the
mission to interpret the multiple universe of human thought as creating
exceptional watches by the symbolic content they contain. Through these
exceptional watches,
KERBEDANZ
wants to establish a special relationship with the customers that are
named "leaders." These same leaders and precursors, by their actions and
charisma, participate in their respective fields to the creation and
expansion of the universe of human thought.
By merging the "form and substance"
KERBEDANZ carries in his creations perfect union between a philosophical or esthetic symbolism and its cultural translation.
It is this unique creative concept that
KERBEDANZ
applies to the design of its very exclusive watches, sometimes very
evocative or more discrete, mysterious or even subliminal depending on
the nature of the subject under discussion. The personalization of the
watch can be so secret that its evocation is only comprehensible to its
owner.

A World of Symbols

values that elevate human dignity and give its own value to every
civilization and every culture.
To create valuables corresponding to contemporary design, capable of
transmitting strong emotions and messages: myths and symbols from the
depths of time or exciting visions of a future projection - this is the
challenge that
KERBEDANZ was
sent giving priority in terms of product to the pursuit of excellence,
uniqueness, reliability, elegance and innovation at the service of its
customers.
