Lion, a royal animal magnifying light and fire
It is striking to note that a considerable number of nations, kingdoms or empires have, since ancient times and today, associated with Lion their emblem. This is understandable, considering that the Lion is the symbol not only of force and power, but also of resurrection, therefore, to a certain extent of eternal life. Therefore, the lion became also in Western culture, a symbol of Majesty. The many meanings that have been given to him by people over time have sent this image of great power, sparkling courage, nobility and honesty without precedent.

The Lion is truly the allegorical image of the Sun as regenerating Fire of Nature and its creatures. In alchemical symbolism Lion is the Sun, the Sulphur, the Stable, and the King. Companion of gods and goddesses, kings and saints, divine symbol, a victim of the whims and cruelty of men, feared or revered, hunter but also hunted, example of virtue or a simple decorative pattern, the lion is all of the above.

The Royal Lion watch is animated by an automatic tourbillon movement, the bridge supporting the cage was specially designed for KERBEDANZ. All components of this movement have been hand polished, chamfered and decorated in the purest respect of the Swiss watchmaking tradition. The tourbillon cage, which makes one revolution / minute, has an escapement that is “anchor side". The pallets, the escapement and the balance set to variable inertia; whose arrangement forms a triangle, reflects the real tourbillon in the spirit of the Swiss Haute Horlogerie.

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.
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.

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.
