A Story Behind The Kerbedanz Watches
Guardian of family history, Tigran Kerbedanz, president and founder of Kerbedanz, goes beyond the mere creation of an eponymous brand: by implanting his name in the original cradle of watchmaking excellence, he pays tribute to his ancestor, a respected blacksmith, renowned for his marvelous skill at shaping metal and for his legendary generosity.
The fame of this grandfather craftsman, due to his love for work well done and his availability of soul already exceeded the borders of his region. Everywhere around the world, great people and neighborhoods solicited the exercise of his art, also when it comes to reviving ancient clocks. Petrified with kindness, simplicity, and talent, he withdrew not only the material comfort still enjoyed by his descendants but above all, the respect and esteem around him.

Kerbedanz Maximus Watch
Maximus is, indeed, a first name and superlative adjectives, derived from the Latin word Magnus, which means "big," and Maximus means "the greatest." No other title could be better than "MAXIMUS" to characterize this astonishing model of Kerbedanz, whose accuracy of mechanical flow is ensured by the largest "tourbillon" for wristwatch of the world. In ancient Rome, the title of "Maximus" was given to the high priest at the head of the Pontifical College. The Pontiffs were the priests responsible for establishing the calendar of good and bad days in the Roman public religion, consecrating the buildings, appointing other priests, such as Flames and Vestals, and also keeping the Roman archives. By recording the notable facts in the "Great Annals." This title will then be systematically awarded to all Roman emperors during the imperial period following the reign of Augustus.
As a result, "Maximus" became the key expression for expressing grandeur in all its splendor. And it is a Roman monument, a gigantic known at that time, which became truly the expression of this greatness. This is the Circus Maximus, the largest circus of Roman antiquity, otherwise known as "Circus Maximus," located between the Palatine and Aventine. Mainly intended for horse or chariot races, Circus Maximus was built in the early 6th century BC by the Etruscan king Tarquin the Elder.
Originally, the dimensions of the arena were 370 meters long and 83 wide. Subsequently, it was enlarged successively by Cesar, Claude, and Néron then by Caracalla and Aurelien so that in the 4th century of our era, the track measured 621 meters long and 118 wide and it is expected that more than 150 000 spectators could take their place. The Circus Maximus remains to this day the largest sports enclosure that the world has known.
But, during Roman Antiquity, the terms Magnus and Maximus were also used as names or surnames by the Romans or the integrated populations in the Roman Empire. Thus, under the name Magnus Maximus or Maxime, a Gallo-Roman military leader of the 4th century, who was proclaimed "Auguste" (that is to say, the emperor) by his troops, became famous, emparred from Gaul and Spain and finally took Rome in 387.
