Montblanc

Vintage Minerva Pilot Chronograph, 1940.

 

A giant with a lot of charm and power. 46 mm steel case! 





Huge case dimensions explained by the size of the Cal 17.29 CH, which is... 42, 15 mm big! 



Not mine alas, but still on the hunt for one... 

Best,

Nicolas

I like that one also, problem with these is often to be sure of the authenticity, very difficult.

Correct. You can always ask to the Minerva Museum, they are quite good...

One of the best looking vintage Minerva.

They also made one in 42mm which is definitely more wearable. These pieces are truly stunning 👌🏼 Minerva makes beautiful watches and definitely gorgeous movements Laurent

Yes smaller ones, with the Cal 17-29 CH, indeed. Due to the small lugs, even the bigger are wearable.
