Joining SingaporeMarc with a Minerva Pythagore Aviation 🛩️
SingaporeMarc just added a Pythagore Aviation in 38mm, so here’s my 34mm version joining in. The cathedral hands are different and of course at 34mm you cannot have the numeral 6 fully displayed but that doesn’t bother me personally. And given the classically good proportions of the Pythagore, 34mm should work very nicely on most wrists.
Here a shot with a contrasting strap choice, a slightly wilder version, if you wish.
Any other Minervas in action?

A real beautiful watch !
Seeing watches like this reinforces my belief that Richemont does not explore the potential of Minerva being just a subsidiary of MB 😞.
Thank you 😊👍🏻🙏🏻
It was a difficult decision to start off with. When Richemont purchased Minerva they already had a large number of brands in their portfolio, some of which, such as VC and ALS at least partially played the same high finishing game as Minerva under Gnutti....
Thanks for this insight 🫶
At least MB should give their Minerva powered watches a more distinct and elegant case/dial identity to differentiate stronger from the "regular" MB design language.
They did initially…
But then figured they need to get more volume and sales out of the Minerva connection to make it pay. This is where the difficulty lies…
Glad you like it 😊👍🏻🙏🏻
I am drawn to smaller watches generally but not every 34 or 36mm works on my relatively slender wrists. The proportions and design finally make a large difference in terms of fit and comfort. A 35mm watch can look large and a 40mm quite small. But would n...
Completely agree!
A very careful balance indeed, and have had experience in the past too with watches that wore much smaller than their case size (and the opposite as well). I agree about design/proportions affecting wear, and perhaps it is arguably not the size (within re...
Great example!
This theme of 'size may not be as it seems' would be amazing on a future Wristscan thread!
I have made a series of videos on this very topic

Beautiful watch
And I love this strap pairing 👍 Pythagore is a cool movement every so often I think of the newer version as a nice time only but there are others that pop up instead.
So many watches…
But fully agree with you on the newer ones - one day for me as well, hopefully 😊🤞🏻
Ha ha thanks but 3 years felt like
An eternity of searching for the aviation dial in 38 mm 😅
Oh my lord …
How beautiful this is 🖤💙 So well captured. The composition is sublime. Well done. Tell me more about the difference with the hands from the 38 mm? I see that your cathedral hands are more creamy where is mine are more white. Lume most probably. Is that th...
From what I can see…
That is the main difference indeed. Glad you like the shot and combination 😊👍🏻🙏🏻
Cool … good to know
We see from this post from Freek that his 38 mm also has the lumed hands. We have seen many brands do this mix of hands in lume and numbers/indices in tritium during the late 1990s. GP and Panerai are two example that come to mine. Perhaps this is to show...
