Showing at WatchTime New York 2019: Kerbedanz Maximus

For 2019, the Neuchâtel-based brand will be presenting one of its most famous timepieces: the Maximus The Maximus was first introduced in 2017 with the tagline, "There is no greater than Maximus," and it backed up that statement by claiming the largest tourbillon movement inside any wristwatch The Maximus is limited to 99 editions, and is produced with either a titanium, gold, or platinum case at a diameter of 49 mm.

The in-house developed Caliber KRB-08 movement of the piece is clearly its highlight, and in creating the massive mechanism Kerbedanz had to reimagine and redevelop the entire construction of a tourbillon In comparison to traditional tourbillons, which complete a rotation in typically one minute, the Maximus completes its rotation in a unique six minutes The movement also uses a uniquely-developed balance spring, a rack assembly with a fine-tuning screw, and a specially crafted balance wheel, each enlarged and adjusted to tame the Maximus tourbillon.

The Kerbedanz Maximus is an impressive model, and one that surely shouldn't be missed at WatchTime New York, coming up in less than a week on October 25-26 at Manhattan's Gotham Hall. . Source
