Movement signed "Paul Gerber"
This floating diamond mystery clock by renowned horologist Paul Gerber is a singular masterpiece. Not only is it the first mystery clock mechanism to operate without traditional hands or a visible center connection, but it is also crafted with the world’s most exquisite materials. The rock crystal body of the clock features over 2,150 grams of 18K yellow gold and it is adorned with an array of exceptional gemstones: two pear-shaped diamonds (3.02 and 1.79 carats), 49.96 carats of round-cut diamonds and 9.60 carats of cabochon emeralds. Complemented by mother-of-pearl and lapis lazuli, this creation is the epitome of exceptional.
The highest echelon of watchmaking demands a seamless fusion of disciplines: engineering, material science, gem setting and enameling, paired with an intimate understanding of history, navigation, astronomy, theology, philosophy and aesthetics. This exceptional clock embodies all these qualities, serving as a true pinnacle of horological artistry. Its revolutionary movement, the first mystery clock mechanism to operate without traditional hands or a visible center connection, is an unparalleled feat of engineering. Powered by three spring houses with a two-week power reserve and a one-second remontoir device, the mechanism alone took two years to perfect. The rare remontoir movement ensures constant force to the escapement, achieving precision and reliability unmatched by conventional designs.
In the elite world of independent watchmaking, Paul Gerber stands as a quiet genius among legends like Philippe Dufour and F.P. Journe. Renowned for his technical mastery and innovative spirit, Gerber has earned accolades including the prestigious Prix Gaïa from the International Museum of Horology (MIH). His creations, from the groundbreaking MIH watch to world record-breaking feats like the smallest boxwood clock and one of the most complicated wristwatches ever made, showcase his genius in blending traditional craftsmanship with innovation.
Gerber worked in conjunction with a renowned jewlery make and invetor, G. R. Dorschfeldt. He has collaborated with prestigious brands such as Boucheron, Van Cleef & Arpels, Bulgari and Graff, while also forming his own brand, Gerd Dor. His work earned him the “Piemonte Eccellenza Artigiana” award for craftsmanship in 1997 and international acclaim for his unique designs. This clock, the perfect fusion of his design and mechanical wonder, is one of his greatest works. COCOMONEY.STORE,,,,AUTHENTIC VERIFIED INSPECED GUARANTEED,,,,
