Some more autumn - with the Minerva Cal. 13-20
Continuing the theme started yesterday, here with a Minerva Cal. 13-20. This one from the original Frey era, so without the finishing bells and whistles but with still the same movement architecture and packed in an elegantly sized case.
Any additions of sun (like the Captain yesterday) or other autumn combinations are welcome 🌞😁👍🏻

Thanks - same here!
Was very happy when I found one. Now I feel I have the Frey Minerva bases covered for a start and if luck favors me, I’d like to add a Gnutti era chronograph at some point, too 🤞🏻
Sadly a tad too late 🤷🏻♂️
They were spectacular value some six, seven years ago 🤷🏻♂️
Technically everything is doable 😉
A quick look had them at a 50% premium over the later, Montblanc branded Villeret movement ones - which I find is not realistic for me 🤷🏻♂️
Legendary quality …
Your Minerva looks very good and would definitely be on my hit list. 👍 Sending you something hot ) … ...
That does look thoroughly hot indeed 🔥🔥🔥
Thanks so much for the temperature increase 😁
Funny you mention Dakar 😁
Was one of the front runners for the holidays but finally some practicality aspects (friends for kids to play with) swayed the decision in favor of another location 😁👍🏻
Very, very nice piece, Kristjan!
I love much more the Minerva watches from the Frey era as from the Gnutti! The stainless steel cases suits better to the character of the watches than the precious metals. I also don’t mind the less decoration of the movements, they are still manufacture ...
That they most certainly are 👌🏻👍🏻
And you have a wonderful collection 🙌🏻 The gold cases don’t do so much for me but some of the finished movements really look spectacular 😊
They still pop up every now and again 👍🏻
The trick is a certain speed - the good ones are not around for long 😊
Unfortunately not…
Two pushers at the standard positions. But nicely integrated and not highly prominent 😊👍🏻
Too kind 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
The little tufts of color on the sweater match the strap indeed - great noticing 😁👍🏻
