Thank you for this--I love the Gerber Modell 41
And I have seen little of it--indeed these are the best and most detailed pictures available. For me, it is an extremely desirable watch, although I'd prefer it with a white/silvered dial and the same hands heat blued. But everything else about it is perfect, and I think the movement is not only understated, but way underestimated in terms of its quality and finishing.
Watches like this continue to make me wish I had the money to provide more support to independent watch makers.

Paul Gerber Modell 41
The watch is not new anymore and one of the early (steel with black dial) versions looked like this: (picture: Paul Gerber) Today it looks like this: (picture: Paul Gerber) Only some minor changes, but a big improvement from my point of view. For example ...

"Well..."
(sang the AHCI siren) "...you could always sell that JLC". Cheers, pplater.
I could...
But it would barely get me 10% of the way to a fine Gerber like this one. Short of a best-selling book, nearly all AHCI watches are out of reach, and the odds of a best-selling philosophy book are pretty much nil... DJK
I like it ...
such a nice watch quality movement finishing and the way it functions.. i would say underestimated and overlooked sometimes.. would love to see different dials color if possible . Faisal
"... would love to see different dials color if possible"
Sorry Faisal, I just have pictures of the black dial version. Maybe Magnus or anybody else can help? Oliver
I like the design a lot!
.... but wish the size were 37 to 39mm..... Otherwise very tempting! Thanks, Oliver! Ken
The Retro Twin ...
has the size you ask for, but (slightly) different design approach. Basel 2012/2013/2014 ... - we willl see Paul is always good for suprises. Oliver
Thanks for the new pics Oliver...
Paul always has something new up his sleeve, I like the new case finishing. Paul's work is high value, low flaunt, stealth. Maybe not for todays watch market, but for that reason even higher value in my eyes. Don
"something new up his sleeve"
Indeed, even in the pockets of his trousers ... I recommend to check both Oliver
To me it seems Paul Gerber's creations...
never seem extraordinary on the first glance, but as you learn more about them, they reveal how truly extraordinary they are. This is what really great art does. I wish I had the means to support such great art as well...
Thanks, Oliver! A Great Watch
I like this one very much. Paul has made a very appealing timepiece at a very attractive price.
Jeff ...
I agree with you! We don´t talk about prices here, but to me it was positive surprise Oliver
Could you PM me?
Perhaps I've been mislead about the relative affordability of a Gerber Modell 41. Cheers Daniel
Unfortunately, the Gerbers confirmed the cost...
And it's considerably higher than what I was hoping (i.e. the number you gave). It will remain out of reach, but doesn't diminish my appreciation for the workmanship. Cheers, Daniel
I Like It!
Two Thumbs Up! Looks great and the special complication makes the watch extremely unique. Furthermore, I really also find the modern rendition of the traditional swan neck fine adjustment to be very nice! Thanks for sharing!
