Paul Gerber's Uhrenkurs
I always dreamed of owning a Paul Gerber ever since I was shown a Retro Twin by a fellow Purist in 2006 and the Purists P10 was another one I lusted after but circumstances never allowed it but to stumble across his very own watch that he worked on to improve and collaborated with a friend/student from Norway Kjell Jorgensen was something I never expected.
One of our own posted his experience of attending Herr Gerber's watch making course here
where he mention's the watch and posted a picture of it from 2018.
In the words of the Master himself about the watch: "You want to know what I think about this watch? It is very difficult for me to give an answer. You cannot compare this watch with an industrial watch. This is a watch that is built on a base plate from the ETA 6498-1. The newly constructed parts are planned, calculated and manufactured by me. All other finishing work was done by Mr. Kjell Jorgensen in my watch course. So, it is absolutely unique. I think that they attach great importance to a unique watch. It's an opportunity they'll likely never have again."
Still can't believe it's on my wrist
My Thanks to Kjell for allowing me to be the custodian of this Special Watch.
