Minerva Pythgagore (the "perfect ratio") calibre 48 manual wind. , 💙



I believe there were about five or so of these made circa 1999.
At 38 mm x 9 mm, the Bauhaus styled dial with heat blued hands on its original Minerva bracelet.
Neo-vintage handwork by the Frey family of Villeret fame. Only a year later, Minerva would be sold and eventually cradled by the Richemont group.
For over 20 years, Minerva would not be shown on the dial again. It would instead be the craftsmanship of movement design and finishing that silently adorned the few watches that could claim "Minerva inside".
Fast forward...
A few days ago, the CEO of Montblanc announced that "Minerva" would once again return to the dial. To be treated within a seperate space of direct recognition. Venerated respect.
👏
