Exclusively feminine… The Tree of Life explores the fascinating world of haute joaillerie. “Making sense of beauty” is the Kerbedanz motto, the masters in combining universal symbols with the outmost in the art of Swiss watchmaking.
It’s a premiere for Kerbedanz! With this ultralimited series of forty-one watches, the Swiss brand from Neuchâtel, Switzerland, has connected with the delicate intimacy of the most refined and demanding women. This is a watch that explores the frontiers of female inaccessibility.
This extraordinary timepiece, the Tree of Life, is being presented at the Palace at Baselworld 2016, the world’s greatest watchmaking showcase. It is a distillate of all the ancient jewelry traditions, of which Kerbedanz remains a rightful heir. It exudes the lavishness of massive gold and natural glass.
The Tree of Life features a total of 540 carefully selected, cut and calibrated emeralds, generously sprinkled in a snow setting around the bezel and stretching all the way to the delightfully sculpted lugs. This harmonious, esthetically balanced creation is deeply immersed in the opulent style of the jeweler, an ancient, flowering tree planted in a mossy undergrowth. It is the product of an inspired designer, a work of horological art brimming with gold leaves and spangled with diamonds – the indices – and harboring an ultra-precise. Swiss mechanical automatic movement. It speaks to the heart of women who, in spite of their discreet inclination towards all matters transcendent, do maintain a feeling for earthy realities.
