«Giving sense to the beauty», this is the vision of the KERBEDANZ, located in the capital of the canton of Neuchâtel in Switzerland. This is achieved by combining the symbolisms, a path as yet unexplored in a traditional Swiss watchmaking industry! This unusual approach differentiates it from everything that is done in the area of high watchmaking of mechanical obedience.

Work of memory

KERBEDANZ launches at Baselworld 2015 the Celtic Dog, a model provided in 41 numbered exemplars, dedicated to an animal figure which lunar symbolic embodied for the ancient Celts the hunter, the warrior or the messenger from the afterlife.

On the dial made from solid white gold in three-layers and blue enameled, are depicted the reliefs of Celtic Dog topped by the applique in white gold from the background of decorative interlaces of La Tene style. This style connects the brand with Neuchâtel since it refers to the gorged area of history that gives its name to the second Age of Iron. Indeed, the excavations that were carried out there since 1857, unearthed Celtic remains.

Ultimate personalization

Exclusively hand-crafted dial and movements are designed, manufactured and decorated by KERBEDANZ. Tourbillon caliber, the KRB-01, mechanical hand-wound, was designed, crafted and decorated by the brand and the movement manufacturer Technotime: 27 jewels, 28,800 oscillations per hour (4 Herz), a double-barrel and 120 hours of power reserve. As for the architecture of the back of the movement, which is protected by a sapphire glass with anti-reflective coating, it is engraved with the colors of KERBEDANZ. The cage of tourbillon is placed in the south west, between 7h and 8h, in response to the axis of the crown located between 1h and 2 h, i.e. in the line of sight of a sunrise, which is in the north-east from the northern hemisphere and depending on the solstice.

This KERBEDANZ timepiece with 50 meters of water resistance shelters in its case, carved in 18K white gold, secret or discreetly visible references. The Book of the Birth accompanies delivered to the customer. It arises in real work of memory and ties in, like an anchor and reference point, all symbols and legends surrounding Celtic Dog.
