Paul Gerber was born in Bern in 1950, the capital of Switzerland. His father, a watchmaker himself, trained Paul as a watchmaker-rhabilleur. Paul Gerber lives in Zurich and has established his own watch construction company.

Ever and ever the brilliant and highly creative watchmaker Paul Gerber surprises with new developments of complicated mechanisms for his own watches, but also for the ones ordered by world famous watch brands. The wide range of horological masterpieces produced in his workshop comprises of a complicated miniature wall clock, a wristwatch with retrograde seconds hand and a double-rotor automatic winding system, an own novel escapement with diverging forces and finally a flying tourbillon and further complications, incorporated into an already highly complicated wristwatch based on a movement by Louis Elysée Piguet. Ever since this watch became the most complicated wristwatch of the world (Guinness Book of Records).

Paul Gerber’s exceptional watchmaking art requires an excellent technical know-how as well as creativity and specific artisanal skills. Manufactures of this class are a synthesis of traditional handicraft and modern techniques. It is therefore Paul Gerber’s desire and wish not only to create the designs on the computer, but also to work at the lathe by himself.
