An evocative name for a timepiece that combines sobriety, elegance and micromechanical prowess.

Discreet in appearance, La Loupe reveals all the poetry of time, thanks to an unprecedented interplay between the hour and the minute, sublimated by a diamond.
A pure, refined design
With a diameter of 38 mm, La Loupe's round 18-carat gold case subtly combines two finishes: a delicate bead-blasting that underlines the purity of its shapes, and a captivating mirror polish that elegantly reflects the light. Its discreet lugs blend harmoniously into the overall design, highlighting the perfect balance between aesthetic refinement and comfort when worn.
The time revealed by a diamond
Unlike traditional timepieces, La Loupe uses a single hand dedicated to the minutes. The hours are indicated by a diamond set on a disc, moving along the circumference of the dial.

As the hand moves, the diamond becomes the sole time marker: each time the circular hand and the diamond are superimposed, the current time is “magnified”, as if we were observing time through a magnifying glass.
The magic of superposition
This subtle mechanical choreography takes place at an unchanging frequency:
The minute hand moves at a rate of 6° per minute, while the diamond-bearing disc (assimilated to the hour hand) moves at a rate of 0.5° per minute.

The angular deviation is thus cancelled out every 65 minutes and 27 seconds, revealing perfect alignment. Thus, in a 12-hour period, this encounter is repeated 11 times, illustrating the fascinating regularity of traditional watchmaking.
A feat of haute horlogerie
Beneath its apparent simplicity, La Loupe conceals a real technical challenge: the perfect flatness of the hour disc, delicately placed on the corresponding wheel. Unlike a conventional hand, this disc requires remarkable balance and stability, both to preserve visual harmony and to ensure the flawless fluidity of the mechanism. This singular design testifies to the watchmaking mastery that characterizes every detail of La Loupe.

The design and machining of each mechanical component demands the utmost precision in order to orchestrate these meeting points with flawless reliability.
The diamond, both delicate and symbolic, requires a subtle setting to ensure optimal visibility and preserve the purity of the design.
In praise of precision
Conceived as a tribute to mathematical rigor and the emotion of time, La Loupe demonstrates that watchmaking poetry is often born of absolute technical mastery. The single hand, in perfect harmony with the diamond, draws the observer into an immersive experience: a micromechanical show where each new superposition becomes a privileged moment, where we rediscover the beauty of an immutable mechanism and the art of watchmaking brought to its paroxysm.

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
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.
The name KERBEDANZ derives from the patronymic of the Brand’s founding President Tigran Karabedyan.

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.
