IGOTT2 Moments – Paul Gerber
[In this series of vignettes I will highlight a few of the key points that the independent watchmakers made during their presentations on Day 3 (June 1) of the IGOTT. Some are direct quotes that tickled my fancy, and others give you an insight into the wa...
Retro Twin
Several PuristS were wearing their Paul Gerber watches at IGOTT2, so these images are a mixture of watches that Paul was displaying, and those already owned. I had the pleasure of trying on several ... The Retro Twin (Ref. 157) was introduced in 2001. It ...
Great pictures Andrew
Still can't get over what great pictures you managed to take of these watches so quickly in poor conditions. Thanks again - you don't often see Paul's watches - and it's great to see a moment like this documented! - Greg
Love this one
The Retro Twin is definitely my favourite. Love the simple and elegant dial. Thanks for the great post, Andrew.
Model 33 with 3-dimensional moon
This is a very special watch, but at first glance only the spherical moon (measuring 6mm in diameter) gives it away. Inside beats the Cal. 33 in-house movement with Paul's own unidirectional impulse escapement. There is a large screwed balance wheel, scre...

Model 42 Pilot and Synchron
The Model 42 is Paul's take on the sports watch. It is light (in titanium), and wearable with excellent legibility at 42mm and with an enlarged date wheel. While the movement is based on the ETA 2824-2 workhorse, Paul has added his synchronised 3-rotor sy...
The Gerber P10 PuristS Anniversary watch
Limited Edition of 10 pieces (sold out). Based on the Model 42 with a 42mm titanium case, the P10 PuristS tenth-anniversary watch receives a special engraved dial with the "PuristS" logo designed by Paul and executed in his Atelier. There is a matching en...
Great pictures and report
The initial post for Gerber's P10 watch and your post was my first introduction to his work. The P10 is a beautiful watch and I believe the most affordable of all the anniversery offerings. The multiple rotors are eye catching and the Purists engraving on...
What do you mean, happy to wait? I'm anxious

THE quote of IGOTT ...
... I think came from Mitch who said that "anyone who has ever ordered a watch from an independent watchmaker understands the meaning of time." At least we got to handle the 'prototype' watches, Mike, but the final pieces are going to be very exciting whe...
Lucky you didn't order ...
... a Vyskocil or Opus 3, Mike! Stay on the sedatives and there shouldn't be too much longer to wait! Andrew
Wonderful
Thanks for the wonderful post, Andrew. I enjoyed it a lot. Paul Gerber's watches are really standing out. The idea with the the dead second that can be turned on and off is just great. A few months ago, while in Zuerich, i had the idea to have a look at P...
Nice story, Stefan ...
Paul and Ruth involved themselves in all the IGOTT2 events and activities. They are great people in addition to Paul being a gifted engineer and watchmaker. Thanks for the story. Andrew
Thanks for the modem burner Andrew!
I enjoyed your coverage of all the Independents very much!! That aluminium delivery watch box is really something! Love it!
Andrew, thanks a lot ...
