A brand renowned for its unique timepieces, Kerbedanz shares the name of its founder and president Tigran Kerbedanz, derived from a word that means leader and precursor. Two notions that fit perfectly with the spirit of the brand: a leader in its devotion to fine craftsmanship and a precursor in its concepts. By creating one-off pieces or very limited series, Kerbedanz takes watchmaking in unexplored directions that embrace all manner of symbols. Celtic Dog is inspired by a symbolic animal that is associated with the moon, and which for the Celts represents the hunter, the warrior, or a messenger from beyond. The book that accompanies this tourbillon watch keeps this memory alive with explanations of the legends and symbols that surround Celtic dogs. Individually numbered, 41-piece limited series.
