The Maxima GR8 White Ceramic Baguette Bezel Edition represents Kerbedanz’s commitment to technical virtuosity in haute horlogerie. At its heart sits the signature one minute flying tourbillon, its skeletal cage visible against a brilliant blue dial, framed by a bezel of 88 baguette cut diamonds totalling 6.54 carats.
Setting diamonds into titanium presents considerable difficulty for contemporary watchmakers. The baguettes, each selected to VVS1 clarity, sit within the Grade 5 titanium case and bezel as a composition that demands absolute precision in both stone cutting and metal work. The white ceramic construction of the case itself provides the perfect foil for both the brilliant diamonds and the exposed mechanics beneath, while the rubber strap in matching white ensures the design remains cohesive from wrist to eye.
The 39mm case diameter positions this Maxima as a timepiece of considerable presence without excess, proportioned for serious collectors rather than statement makers. Through the caseback, visible in the photographs, the full architecture of the movement becomes evident, with the tourbillon’s rose gold accent adding warmth to the mechanical complexity.
Limited to just 28 timepieces worldwide, the watch was presented at Mavericks of Time 2026 in Abu Dhabi, marking Kerbedanz’s expansion in the region through a partnership with Ahmed Seddiqi. For collectors seeking to acquire this edition, inquiries should be directed through authorised Kerbedanz dealers.
