Here is my 38 mm Minerva Pythagore with the famous manual wind calibre 48. Notice how the watch wears bigger as the entire case is pretty much made up of the dial. At 9 mm thickness, I love the proportions. Sapphire crystal glass for both front and back. ...  

Thank you for sharing photos of your classy dress watch.

And a good combo with the strap. Thanks for the info on the watch (as always.) Didn’t know your wrist could do without a GP 😅 Btw. I think your info/knowledge were mentioned on Fratello regarding a Blancpain.

Glad to hear you enjoyed the post. I know right, every time I put on something other than a GP I feel kinda guilty 😆 Oh, interesting about Fratello. I don’t write about Blancpain though …. Have a link to the article? 🤝

"Artist unknown. This doesn’t compare to having Rembrandt van Rijn’s signature on a painting. For a long time, the common belief was that Adolfo Natalini (1941–2020) — a man who co-founded the architectural company Superstudio, became a member of the Arch...

Facebook groups and such have lots of fluffy info. Purists are here. I’m doing my part to get the facts straight on GP. The myths and such has gone on for too long. 🤝

The same 38mm with a different strap. Love the suede strap that compliments the watch. Mine is fitted with a calf strap by Jean Claude Perrin. 　 ...  

To keep me company. Your strap is super. Reminds me of the Hermes color? 🤝

The leather possibly comes from the same tanner as they are both French brands.

Glad to hear that there are still Minerva collectors here. Sorry to say that many of the younger collectors do not may not know (or care) about Minerva. Hope to keep in touch with you. I have a few other neo-vintage Minerva’s and I post pics of them from ... 

I've enjoyed your earlier posts here. I may pick up another one when the right piece appears to sell. Taik to you some time.
