Cazalea, a respected member of the WatchProSite community, offers an intimate look at the work of independent watchmaker Paul Gerber, including his own PuristSPro 10th-anniversary timepiece. This article explores Gerber's unique contributions to horology, from his role in creating some of the world's most complicated watches to his distinctive multi-rotor movements. Cazalea's personal reflections and detailed imagery provide a rare glimpse into the artistry of a master craftsman who, despite his significant impact, remains somewhat under the radar.
Gerber always seemed like he made 'fun' watches...nothing stuffy.
My first Gerber watch Twin rotors My P10 on original salmon skin strap (posing atop a real salmon) Originally had triple gold rotors which later were replaced with platinum for more brisk winding performance. MTF and Paul Gerber at the P10 introduction THE BIG GUYS LINEUP Max, Kari, Peter, Bart (or Tim?), Ludovic, Paul, Don Corson Paul, Ruth and Michel his USA rep.
...I had never seen rotors like that before. Don't know if it's a good idea or not, but they look awesome : )
I've got a Retro twin in WG tucked away at the bank. Also, recently sold my MIH. His talent seems pretty exceptional.
But was too late to put my name in the hat previously. Enjoy your watch! Regards
Not only the subject, your quality post is at journalism level. The pictures telling a story, and a joy to read. The watches are one of a kind. Triple rotors, who came to that idea? PG! Great that you wrote ‘it is not that efficient, but to look at a showcase what looks can do. Sometimes it is good to not have perfection, and go for what had never done before. Another way of thinking, and go for something unusual is very unique.
