Magnus,
I lost one of the push buttons, so it had to go back to the Minerva shop to replace that one. They found that the caliber had sufferd from moister inside and it could not leave the workshop without a complete overhaul. It took approx 6 weeks and the cost was at Montblanc Villeret level (Eur 1200). So very pricy. It is not an every day watch now any more and I only wear it on special occasions.
Regards Wim
Minerva: My Timepiece in Black!
Music: Uriah Heep Lyrics: Magnus Bosse (inspired by Uriah Heep...) For starters a flashback: Famous concert in German TV 1977: Now sing with me: "Timepiece in Black" She called me up one morning One lonely Sunday morning To lure me to a place I never went...
Magnus, this is a superb watch!
Elegant, timeless, with a nicep resence, and a delicious movement. That is exactly why I love Minerva. I should get my first one as soon as possible. Nice illustration, too. Uriah Heep is another great band, which brings back to lovely memories. Best, nic...
And just add the history...
with the italian owners really pushing the company horologically, but bringing it financially almost to ruin - an italian opera drama! Glad you like it. I have seen these watches at the manufacture in around 2003, but I was under the impression that those...
Is there a second one in that shop?...
That is an instant classic - WANT one!!! Cheers, pplater.
It was on the 'bay'...
and someone unknown to me asked me to look at the watch - he better did not do that as I was hooked on the first second. The rest is history.... Cheers, Magnus
Two words: Chic and Formidable ...
For sure, the designers of this watch had a fine taste. Dial, hands and the case back plus the movement ... Perfect. Congratulations, Nilo
Superb watch and song ...
but now you have to sing the song and to produce the video, with the watch on your wrist. Looking forward to that project :-) Oliver
"... now you have to sing the song and ..."
trust me Oliver, you do not want to hear that ! Cheers, Magnus
Encore!! Bravo, Magnus . . .
. . . that Minerva is well deserving of a serenade. Enviously, Art
Quite right about that. When . . .
. . . it comes to Minerva, the first person that comes to mind now is Livius due to his innumerable WS appearances, but Magnus has a very long association with the manufacturer, and has written many articles about them in years past.
Could you point me to one of Livius' posts?
I faintly remember having seen them once but then... I have more to share on MB 'insights' (this is a pun...) soon (if time allows). Best, Magnus
Gladly, Magnus. Livius has been honored many times . . .
. . . for his photographs on Wrist Scan. He has a Jaeger LeCoultre, a Breitling, an Eterna, and a few others, but he's best known for "the" Minerva . . . . . . shown here. This is one of several images that have been honored by our judges over the years. ...
Magnus, this is a very beautiful watch, love it, love it....
I have been thinking about a VC and a PP as a formal watch and now I definitely have a third choice which is somehow becoming first choice. Bravo, congratulations, I want one too:) Cheers, Francois
Magnus, regards from his brother.
Magnus, A very nice piece. And I know it. Regards from his brother, who had recently a complete overhaul In Swiss. Regards Wim ...
One day I need this watch as well...
to complement its little brother - thanks for the image, Wim! BTW, how was the service experience? Cheers, Magnus
