The Micro-Mechanical Show
The term "micromechanical show" on a wristwatch refers to the intricate display of the watch's internal mechanics, often showcased through features like an exhibition case back or a skeleton dial. This allows the wearer and admirers to view the complex movements, gears, and springs that power the watch, turning the timepiece into not just a functional object but a piece of wearable art.

MAXIMUS
KERBEDANZ has given the name MAXIMUS to this exceptional piece of fine watchmaking.

Patent CH 713 607, revolutionary four-barrel system. The MAXIMUS model from Kerbedanz houses the KRB-08 calibre, with its giant central flying tourbillon with a diameter of 27 mm. Its energy is produced by this patented system of 4 independent and coplanar barrels operating in parallel, built around a central mobile wheel mounted on a ball bearing. By this configuration, the thickness of the watch is not increased while the rate accuracy is.

Patent CH 713 605 A2, innovative racquetry mechanism. This patented invention comprises a movable racket bearing pins and equipped with teeth so that it can be driven in rotation by a toothed wheel. This feature is characteristic in that the racket is mounted sliding on a bridge. For those who have been following the advances already made in this field since 1968, the progress that has more recently tended towards devices whose aim is to regulate the active length of the hairspring by modifying its free end, it is obvious that the invention patented here explores a completely different direction.

=========================================
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.
Chief Design Officer Aram Petrosyan
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
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
The universe of human thought is not only made of the philosophical
and cultural heritage of mankind since ancient times, but it is
continually adding new discoveries and theories in such various areas as
science, history, philosophy, art and everything related to ethical
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.
