Build Your Own Paul Gerber-IHT Watch

Michael Dubs’ mentor is none other than renowned Swiss independent master watchmaker Paul Gerber. Known for developing complications for some of the world’s most prestigious watch brands and also for creating watches under his own name, Paul Gerber’s influence in horology is profound. Beyond his watch developments, Paul offers a highly sought-after 3-day course, held three times a year at his atelier in Zurich, Switzerland, where participants build their own Paul Gerber watches. With a long waiting list for this exclusive course, it is a privilege that Paul has trained Michael to offer the same course at IHT’s atelier in Singapore. It is Paul’s way of leaving his legacy in the watch industry. Be a part of this legacy with us.
