Lion, a royal animal magnifying light and fire

It is striking to note that a considerable number of nations, kingdoms or empires have, since ancient times and today, associated with Lion their emblem. This is understandable, considering that the Lion is the symbol not only of force and power, but also of resurrection, therefore, to a certain extent of eternal life. Therefore, the lion became also in Western culture, a symbol of Majesty. The many meanings that have been given to him by people over time have sent this image of great power, sparkling courage, nobility and honesty without precedent. Symbol of power, the lion is also that of justice: where lions of the throne of Salomon, the throne of the Kings of France, from that of the medieval bishops etc... 

The Lion is truly the allegorical image of the Sun as regenerating Fire of Nature and its creatures. In alchemical symbolism Lion is the Sun, the Sulphur, the Stable, and the King. Companion of gods and goddesses, kings and saints, divine symbol, a victim of the whims and cruelty of men, feared or revered, hunter but also hunted, example of virtue or a simple decorative pattern, the lion is all of the above.

The tourbillon mouvement

The Royal Lion watch is animated by an automatic tourbillon movement, the bridge supporting the cage was specially designed for KERBEDANZ. All components of this movement have been hand polished, chamfered and decorated in the purest respect of the Swiss watchmaking tradition. The tourbillon cage, which makes one revolution / minute, has an escapement that is “anchor side". The pallets, the escapement and the balance set to variable inertia; whose arrangement forms a triangle, reflects the real tourbillon in the spirit of the Swiss Haute Horlogerie.
