Two vintage Minerva Chronographs. Two marvels.
42 mm, housing the Cal 17-29 CH. 46 mm, with its 19-9 CH. Two monopusher Chronographs, which clearly and strongly inspired Montblanc in their recent releases, for our biggest pleasure. Best, Nicolas ...
I love the dial of the 1st one with Breguet numerals,
but I would like it to have the big crown of the second one!
Both are beautiful, but I have a soft spot for the red arrow and its rotating bezel.
Montblanc has done a wonderful job preserving the design heritage of some of these early Minervas.
Two wonderful pieces indeed 🙌🏻👏🏻👌🏻
The charm of the originals is stronger for me. And I guess that my expectation to MB is to evolve the heritage of Minerva into something new and fresh, rather than primarily focus on reissues 😊🤷🏻♂️
First one for me
The breguet numerals here are tops. Plus cleaner dial without the snail scale
