On 1927, Charles A. Lindbergh was on board the Spirit of St. Louis. Fear and anxiety accompanied him on the first non-stop transatlantic flight. These fears faded away like fog under the sun when his single-engine plane landed on French soil, replaced by the certainty of having accomplished a remarkable feat, of having taken a risk and won, of having dared, of being the first.

The WALTHAM XA expresses all of this, inspired by the legendary XA-Type 37 Model, the aeronautical clock chosen personally by Lindbergh to be fitted on board his plane, and his loyal partner in the great achievement that made history. ☛ FOTO

KERBEDANZ – Single Edition ROYAL LION

KERBEDANZ – ROYAL LION Single Edition NEW

KERBEDANZ - a universe of symbols

KERBEDANZ gave to this watch, the symbolic figure of the Lion; royal animal by excellence and solar symbol magnifying the light and the fire.


 A name – a story

“KERBEDANZ” are timepieces whose uniqueness is dedicated to unique personalities. Its president and founder, Tigran Kerbedanz, chose the name "KERBEDANZ" in honor of his ancestor, who was a renowned blacksmith for his extreme ability to work metal. "KERBEDANZ" means , in effect, "the heirs of Karabed" , a term which has the double meaning of Leader and Forerunner, the origin of the surname Kerbedanz.

Our philosophy : « Giving sens to beauty»

By merging the "form and substance" KERBEDANZ carries in his creations perfect union between philosophical or cultural symbols and their aesthetic translation. It is this unique creative concept that applies KERBEDANZ design its very exclusive watches, sometimes very evocative or more discrete, mysterious or even subliminal depending on the nature of the topic discussed. Customization of the watch can be such as its evocation is understandable only by its owner

 A universe of symbols

Create precious time keepers with a contemporary design, capable of transmitting forcefully emotions, messages, myths or symbols from the depths of time or exciting visions of a future projection - this is the challenge that was launched KERBEDANZ giving priority to the pursuit of excellence in terms of product, uniqueness, reliability, elegance and innovation at the service of its audience.

ROYAL LION – unique piece

A new unique piece for a MIP customer (Most Important Personality ) is born. Kerbedanz, on request of the client, engraved the symbolic figure of Lion, royal animal par excellence, on a dial 18K gold with diamonds. It shows a Lion, viewed from the front, with his mane deployed as a solar aura.

 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. Symbol of power, the lion is also that of justice: where lions of the throne of Salomon, the throne of the Kings of France, from that of the medieval bishops etc...

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 tourbillon mouvement

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.

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

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.

VULCAIN – 50's Presidents Heritage K2 Anniversary

VULCAIN – 50's Presidents HERITAGE K2 Anniversary

Click on the mouse wheel to see the large size ...        FOTO

This summer, Vulcain pays tribute to the 60th anniversary of the ascent of K2 made by 14 climbers from the Italian Mountain Club in 1954.

Vulcain has always been associated with sporting achievements. Alongside supporting Real Madrid in the 30s, or sounding the underwater depths of Hannes Keller in 1961, the Manufacture has also distinguished itself when it comes to conquering mountains.

Click on the mouse wheel to see the large size ...        FOTO

Three mountain expeditions deserve a mention: the first in the Andes, in the heart of the Cordillera Vilcamba in the centre of Peru. On August 5th 1952, a French-Belgian expedition directed by Bernard Pierre and two American teams conquered the north face of the Salcantay, one of the Andes’ untamed peaks, which reaches to a height of 6,264 metres. Shortly after this achievement, Vulcain received several testimonies from this roped party highlighting the intrinsic qualities of their Cricket Vulcain watches. These were effectively part of the entire ascent, reaching a height of more than 6000 metres.

Vulcain watches stand up to the toughest conditions: As in the 1930s, marketing representatives for the La Chaux-de-Fonds brand placed their watches on the wrists of seasoned athletes.
In addition to soccer, Vulcain set ist sights on both the heights and the depths. To celebrate the 90th anniversary of the Italian Mountaineering Club in 1954, a team of 14 transalpine mountaineers had sworn to be the first to conquer K2, the mythical Himalayan peak in the Karakoram range, located on the outskirts of India, China and Pakistan. Under the leadership of geology professor Ardito Desio, 700 porters transported over thirteen metric tons of equipment to the base camp at an altitude of 5,000 meters, at the foot of this magnificent pyramid of rock and ice. On July 31, 1954, the roped party of Uno Lacedelli and Achille Compagnoni, accompanied by their Crickets, reached 8,620 metres. Only Everest is higher. One of the most famous Italian mountaineers, Walter Bonatti, was also included in this expedition. He was barely 24 years old when he spent a night at 8,000 metres with no oxygen and no tent. Some believed that survival would be impossible. But Bonatti, who paradoxically was responsible for carrying the oxygen canisters for the lead party, proved them wrong.

1954, Ascension of K2
 

The second noteworthy expedition took place 60 years ago. In order to celebrate the 90th anniversary of the Italian Mountain Club, a team of 14 transalpine climbers swore that they would conquer K2 for the first time – that legendary Himalayan summit in the Karakorum range. Led by Ardito Desio, a professor of geology, 700 porters carried more than 13 tons of material to the base camp located at an altitude of more than 5,000 metres. On July 31st 1954, the roped party with Lino Lacedelli and Achille Compagnoni reached 8,612 metres accompanied by their Crickets.

A few years later, in 1958, a team that once again consisted of Bonatti and other members of the first expedition set off to conquer Gasherbrum IV (7,980 m), a Karakorum peak reputed to be inaccessible. This time, Vulcain equipped the climbers with Crickets.

The watches from this small Swiss Manufacture achieved considerable success with these extreme climbers. Publications at the time proudly announced that these timepieces served “their owners faithfully by providing the exact time and by chiming at the right moment”.

In 2011, Vulcain paid tribute to this achievement by intro - ducing its 50s Presidents Heritage model.

Ascension of K2, the Italian route

At 8,612 metres, K2 is the second highest mountain in the world after Everest.
This expedition by the Italian Mountain Club was the first to climb K2 via the historic Abruzzi Spur – named following an attempt in 1909 by the Duke of Abruzzi up to 6,000m.

The Abruzzi Spur route is the most oft used trail. Around 75% of climbers choose this route. It starts at 5300 metres at the bottom of a ridge, drops gently for several kilometres and continues up to the 8612 summit.
