I have some wonderful news to report! Ever since the initial release of the 1858 Tachymeter Series I've been absolutely smitten with the Minerva 16.29 caliber and at long last I finally have one in my collection. To be honest, this piece with the bronze case and copper dial (I see it more copper than salmon) wouldn't have been the way I would have designed it if given the opportunity, but now that its mine and on the wrist for a few days I can say I absolutely love it and wouldn't change a thing!
