It may be diminutive in size at only 34mm but it certainly seems to feel at home in most settings irrespective. Speaking of my Minerva Pythagore here.

Whether relaxing at home or enjoying some of the last rays of autumn sun, the proportions are simply spot on in my humble opinion and the watch a universally good companion.

It even acquired a future owner - my daughter already called dibs on it. Does go with her colour pencils after all

And speaking of seasons - a parting shot showing the festive one right now. I still have the original Minerva strap safely tucked away somewhere but am enjoying the Montblanc replacement patterned calf in blue a lot - very supple and fitting the watch nicely (same colour as the original one).

Have a great week!

Key Points from the Discussion

The Minerva Pythagore is recognized as a very photogenic watch, with additional images provided to showcase its aesthetic qualities.
The watch's design details are praised, including hands that correctly reach dial markers, a balanced numeral XII, and the integration of the numeral VI with the subdial without compromising hour markers.
The Pythagore's balance, designed by Andre Frey with the Golden Ratio in mind for the Cal. 48 movement, contributes to its timelessness, with design elements influencing modern watches like the Montblanc 1858.
The contributor's own pictures of the watch were instrumental in influencing KMII's decision to acquire it.
The watch wears exceptionally well despite its small size on paper, making it a comfortable and versatile companion.

I love your “fifty shades of grey Pythagore” my friend. So many contrasts. When a small watch gives you a bigger pleasure. Enjoy it

Best wishes Alkiro

Thanks a lot, Alkiro!

It really does provide lots of pleasure and is a great wrist companion irrespective of the environment (apart from diving, which I don’t do)

It does...

And I most certainly will. As long as I have left with it, before my daughter gets her hands on it. She told us last night that she needs 11 watches
