One of the earliest AHCI members, Paul Gerber began crafting watches in his Zurich workshop in 1976. His work is a spectrum of traditional aesthetics and strikingly modern style, entirely made by hand. Alongside his own creations, Gerber has also worked on pieces such as the Louis Elysée Piguet Grande Complication, at one time the most complicated wristwatch in the world, in addition to helping Ludwig Oeschlin develop and prototype the MIH watch, an annual calendar with just nine parts.
