When it comes to gifts , the Pope and the Catholic Church cannot receive gifts. They have a way of thankfully declining. When offered a gift, it is usually auctioned for charity or it is sent to the Vatican museum.

Recently, Pope Francis has been gifted a Harley Davidson which was auctioned off for 280,00 Swiss Francs. The auction later helped build a homeless shelter home in Rome.

Argentina, where the Pope was born, is the country with the second-most Armenian population after the US. Armenian based Watch brand Kerbedanz, has gifted a timepiece which differs from any other piece.

His Holiness Pope Francis with the Management of Kerbedanz

On the dial of this timepiece the traditional time indexes have been replaced with the origianl Armenian alphabet, which consists of curves and entangled angles.

The dial consists of solid gold covered with micro sculptures and subtle guilloché design. The bracelet appears to be a beautiful dark navy leather which contrasts the gold of the dial very nice.

This timepiece is extremely unique and is dedicated to the traditional Armenian language.

It’s safe to say that this Kerbedanz is priceless!
