Kerbedanz is an independent Swiss watchmaking maison founded in 2011 in Neuchâtel, Switzerland, by two complementary visionaries: Kalust Zorik, a seasoned collector, and Aram Petrosyan, a designer. Together they built a brand on a single conviction: that a timepiece should not only measure seconds, but also express identity, legacy, and emotion.
The brand merges Swiss horological precision with design storytelling and symbolism. Every Kerbedanz creation is conceived, designed, and assembled in-house — from the first sketch to the final polish — under the creative direction of Chief Design Officer Aram Petrosyan. This complete in-house control ensures that every curve, engraving, and complication carries intentional symbolic resonance, giving life to watches that embody personal significance as much as mechanical mastery.
Kerbedanz describes its craft as a micromechanical show — a symphony of precision, movement, and light — achieved through a rigorous suite of artisanal techniques: micro-sculpture, engraving, enameling, gem-setting, and fine finishing, each coexisting with mechanical innovation. The brand calls this alliance of technical mastery and artistic expression its métier d'art, bridging centuries of Swiss horological tradition with an avant-garde spirit.
Through its Bespoke Program, Kerbedanz invites collectors to co-create timepieces that reflect their own singularity and values. For Kerbedanz, time is not simply counted — it is interpreted.
