For the contemplative moments in life - some quiet time with the Minerva Pythagore A481
It may be not quite 34mm in case diameter but it has managed to worm its way under my skin almost instantly. Quiet, unassuming, anything but pretentious and without any superfluous elements. And it is a watch that you can wear in almost any circumstance, barring watersports or really rough handling. Here a little pictorial ode to the tiny Minerva

After a workday, getting ready for a deserved weekend...
Or enjoying the start to the very same weekend
As it is hand wound, you have a constant, tactile interaction with it that automatic watches simply do not offer to the same extent. Winding is smooth but requires enough pressure to tell you exactly how the process is progressing. And if you do not have the wrist of the evil snowman (this one here: www.watchprosite.com
that had its beady little eyes fixed on it), it will most certainly not wear too large, either
Thanks for viewing!

Totally charming, interesting, pleasant. Under the radar, just because people still think it is too small.
Excellent for the connoisseurs. Best, Nicolas
As you say :)
But so full of life and vitality, perfect proportions (dial and movement side)
Hej, KMII !.. What a nice pick - love this unobtrusive, classy appeal, and +1 that the smaller size fits perfectly your wrist !
Continue to enjoy it in the very Best of your health ! Thx for sharing this low-key charm ! Chees & Best, hs
Currently still feeling comfortable on mine ;)
But if I see any of her sisters, you will be the first to know
That is such a beautiful watch
The dial is so clean and elegant and the watch looks marvellous on the wrist. The close up pictures are amazing too. I never tire of seeing this one Thank you. Regards, Kev
I still remember well on that day!
It is a beauty, my Friend! And I am sure that you already wore much more the watch as I wore it in the 3 years of my posesssion... I am also sure now she is in good hands! Yours, Adam
Thanks for your kind words Ádám!
And for having been so accommodating back in the day It\'s not a daily wear but always a pleasure when I do wear it!
Love mine
I have two Minervas and used to have more. Both are beautiful watches and get worn regularly. ...
Sorry, did not express myself clearly :)
Meant that TZ made another limited edition with Minerva - not that both of yours were
Correct
Mine is the 2nd Minerva TZ LE, one of 100 made. The first one was the smaller 34mm Pythagore with black dial and burnt sienna dial numerals and hands. Only 49 were made.
That's the one I meant :)
Seems Minerva was one of the early ones that was actively engaged with the online community...
Richard Paige
Richard took over TZ in the very early days and turned it into a "must visit" site for people who until then likely didn\'t know there were other watch enthusiasts out there. He broke conventional thinking by offering watches (the Minerva LE\'s) for sale ...
This is all very interesting for me...
Given how I only started with the whole horology hobby and with lurking here in 2014
Thanks for your kind words SvB!
I will definitely post it regularly, so much more to see of it
