KERBEDANZ unveil Maxspor GR8 41mm Monopusher
Great mechanical mastery meets exclusivity in the new MAXSPOR GR8 41mm, the Swiss watchmaker KERBEDANZ signs the total redesign of its famous monopusher chronograph, resizing a timepiece without altering its essence and transforming the measurement of time into a sculptural experience to wear every day.
A dial that inverts perspectives, what strikes at first glance is the absence of the classic watch layout; instead of hiding the vital part of the movement under the case back, the artisans of Neuchâtel have flipped the internal structure: the regulating organ (i.e., balance wheel and hairspring) has been positioned directly on the front of the watch, in place of the third counter. The dynamic element thus moves in plain sight: this is supported by a three-armed bridge expertly hand-finished, according to the rules of Haute Horlogerie: anglage, sandblasted surfaces, and contrasting treatments to offer a deep dialogue between engineering and craftsmanship.
The visual contrast is immediate: on one side the energy of the mechanical movement, on the other the rigorous elegance of the guilloché work of the dial that, interacting with light, offers an elegant and sophisticated background.
The mechanical evolution of the MaxSpor GR8 41mm
Inside the case beats the automatic caliber KRB14-2, a new “heart” that has been redesigned for this brand new and elegant timepiece:
- components: 343 elements and 33 jewels
- frequency: 28,800 vibrations/hour
- power reserve: 48 hours
The internal architecture has been refined to meet the needs of a slimmer case (41 mm wide by 50 mm long), while ensuring superior chronometric performance thanks to the adoption of a balance wheel with regulating screws.
The control of the chronograph functions is entrusted to a single integrated button, a choice that preserves overall ergonomics and provides a clean and balanced aesthetic.
Designed for everyday life and every environment
Despite its refined soul, the MAXSPOR GR8 41 mm is not born as a showcase piece. The case, lightweight and durable, utilizes the properties of grade 5 titanium and is designed to ensure worry-free daily use.
Water activation – Thanks to an advanced double-seal system, the chronograph can be operated even underwater (with a guaranteed water resistance of up to 50 meters), without risking infiltration.
Stylistic versatility – A quick-release mechanism positioned on the rubber strap allows for changing the watch’s look in seconds, without the need for external tools.
KERBEDANZ, great mechanical mastery, exclusivity of the MAXSPOR GR8 41mm Monopusher
Distributed in a very limited series of just 18 or 28 pieces, depending on the version, this monopusher chronograph represents the natural and most refined evolution of its predecessor. Its true identity transcends design and dimensions: it resides in the bold spirit with which KERBEDANZ has rethought the architecture of the watch. Challenging tradition, the Maison brings the regulating organ to the forefront on the dial, giving the wearer a view of its constant heartbeat. The MAXSPOR GR8 41 mm thus ceases to be a mere measuring instrument to become a work of ingenuity designed to show us how time comes to life.
