Paul Gerber Uhren-Konstruktionen

Paul Gerber Uhren-Konstruktionen is the eponymous Zürich watchmaking business presented on Gerber’s official site. AHCI confirms a Zürich practice dating to 1976 and membership from 1988.

Gerber’s official biography says he established his workshop in 1976, developed a miniature wooden wall clock from 1977, and worked with his wife Ruth, whose responsibilities included administration and technical support.

The official workshop account describes CAD, prototypes, machining, decoration and modification of base movements. It also describes long-running apprenticeship training and names Marc Jenni and Anny Weber among those associated with that training.

AHCI distinguishes original Gerber designs from modified bases: calibre 33 has a spherical moon indication, calibre 41 uses an original three-rotor architecture, while calibre 42 is described as based on a modified movement. The brand cannot accurately be assigned a single all-in-house movement origin.

Gerber’s official history identifies the RetroTwin dual-rotor model, model 33, model 41 and later triple-rotor model 42 variations. These document a sustained series of mechanical projects rather than a single concept watch.

The workshop biography discusses retirement in connection with apprenticeship training but also describes a 2023 slow-balance charity watch project with Anny Weber and continuing courses. It does not establish a dated business dissolution.

Classify Paul Gerber as a confirmed watch brand operated through an independent workshop; its business history, named models and trade-association profile support more than a person-only label.
