KERBEDANZ – Ê (Astrologia) Tourbillon Unique watch
In the design of the watch are used the personal data of the person for whom it is designed.
At 12h the Roman numerals show the year of birth of the holder: 1962. As the birthday is the 31, and the numbers 1 and 3 form in the amount 4, so the number 31 is on the axis of the number 4. January 31 (date of birth) falls into the period of the sign Aquarius of the zodiac (January 20 - February 18). Aquarius is ruled by two planets, Saturn and Uranus. They give to Aquarius the breadth of mind, intelligence and the ability to penetrate into the mysterious secrets of the universe.
The astrological symbol of Uranus is located on the axis of 12 and the astronomical symbol of Saturn is on the axis of 5.
The Aquarius is an air sign, which may explain the breadth of its nature and the ability to penetrate simultaneously in many areas.
Air Aquarius it’s all layers of the atmosphere at once: people of this sign may be interested in something terrestrial and also sublime. The plastic and the dynamic lines of the watches' design emphasize the "lightness" of this sign. The color solution of watches is in full compliance with the "palette" of Aquarius, whose colors are all shades of blue, white and silver. The astronomical sign of Aquarius is also located on the dial - two waves, symbolizing the two principles. The first wave is a stream of living water, the second being the dead water.

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.
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.
Chief Design Officer Aram Petrosyan
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.
Chief Design Officer Aram Petrosyan
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.
