Some surprises are ahead - unexpected news from Paul Gerber!

 
 By: Ornatus-Mundi : March 1st, 2011-12:45
Dear All: in my article about the award of the Prix Gaïa to Paul Gerber in 2007 , I alluded to Paul's fascination for control-line model flying . This refers to elaborately-designed model aeroplanes that fly in a circle, guided by a 20-m-long steel cable,...  

YEEEEHHAAAAAA!

I'm going to see him at Basel. Thanks for posting Magnus Best Christian

Side question for Gerber

Doesn't he get dizzy flying a model airplane in a circle? I've always wondered about that. Why not just a 4 channel or more radio controlled plane instead? Regards, ED-209

I can only say that after many months living with the Calibre 33 with a spherical moon accompanied by its slightly customized (my choice) large second hand that this is state-of-the art - of a fine and very particular mechanical, as well as esthetic art. ... 

Always like to see...

Thanks Magnus...

I saw this watch when I picked up my serviced watches a couple of weeks ago - great to see Paul having fun. Looking forward to your follow up,
