Description
Paul Gerber. An 18K rose gold manual wind wristwatch with 3D moon phases indication Paul Gerber. Montre bracelet en or rose 18K (750) avec phases de lune en 3D mouvement mécanique Model: 33 '3-Dimensional Moon' Reference: No.335 Date: Circa 1990 Movement: 18-jewel Cal.33 manual wind, patented 'Paul Gerber Escapement', No.529 Dial: Silvered and textured to centre, applied alterning gilt baton and Arabic hour markers, subsidiary dial at 7 for running seconds and 3D moon phases indication at 11, fancy blued steel hands Case: Polished tonneau form, exhibition back secured by 10 screws, No.08 Strap/Bracelet: Paul Gerber red leather Buckle/Clasp: Signed gilt buckle Signed: Case, dial & movement Size: 34mm x 40mm Weight: 95,59g Accompaniments: Paul Gerber fitted wooden box, outer card, Instructions manual, quick set tool Footnotes: Paul Gerber holds not one, but two Guinness World Records—an extraordinary distinction befitting one of Switzerland's most inventive independent watchmakers. The first was awarded for the world's smallest wooden clock, housing a mechanical movement just 2.2 cm high. The second, achieved in 2005, honors the Superbia Humanitatis, the most intricate wristwatch ever built in terms of component count: an astonishing 1,116 individual parts. Renowned for his technical ingenuity, Gerber has also developed a groundbreaking escapement based on the principle of equal and opposing forces. This innovative mechanism comprises a large stationary wheel, a smaller impulse wheel, and a uniquely designed anchor—offering a novel take on energy transmission and efficiency in horology. Among his most poetic creations is the spherical moonphase complication. This remarkable feature displays a three-dimensional moon: one hemisphere crafted from lapis lazuli to represent the moon's dark side, the other adorned with 54 brilliant-cut diamonds to evoke the luminous fullness of the moon. This particular timepiece is powered by Gerber's proprietary Calibre 33, showcasing both the signature escapement and the mesmerizing spherical moon—an exceptional fusion of mechanical sophistication and artistic expression, destined to captivate discerning collectors.
