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

Vintage Minerva Pilot Chronograph, 1940.

A giant with a lot of charm and power. 46 mm steel case! Huge case dimensions explained by the size of the Cal 17.29 CH, which is... 42, 15 mm big! Not mine alas, but still on the hunt for one... Best, Nicolas

A reworked picture of the Minerva Cal 17.29 CH, the ancestor of the Montblanc Villeret Minerva Cal 16.29.

Ok, it needs a good service, but it is still quite pleasant to look at. The level of finish is, for once, higher in the modern! Best, Nicolas

A fresh picture of my Longines 30 CH.

I feel very lucky to own such a fine vintage Chronograph. What do we have, here? A 38 mm steel case, with a screw in case back, a superb sun burst dial, applied gilt indices and hands and a great movement, the famous Cal 30 CH. In my opinion, one of the b

I have read (and written) on how it inspired the modern calibre 16.29 but have never seen one in the metal Thanks for the pics Nico! Such large traditional chrono movements are really the dream of many PuristS. I always felt traditional chronos more roman
