Montblanc

After the Montblanc Heritage Manufacture Pulsograph I recently reviewed, I wanted to show you something a bit older, which I suspect to be from the Frey's era, before the brand was bought by Gnutti and Co, so before the year 2000. Here is a Minerva Chrono...  

It's a Minerva Ref. M132001 made out of aluminum with white gold buckle from the 2000s. For further details check: Link

Btw looking at the price this watch sold for, it has to be an absolute bargain. :o

I bought this watch (on this site actually) from William Massena. This is from the very short era right after it was sold by Frey and re-imagined by Gnutti and Co. It has basically the same dial as this piece you've shown. I am fairly sure it's a vintage ...  

I have its WG brother. A beauty but I am a bit careful nowadays while I lost a pusher ones and a factory overhaul costs an arm and a leg. I know I have to add a picture, but the watch is in a save now. 🤪. Sorry

No message body

I see what all the fuss is about for Minerva!

And clearly an inspiration to the current line. But I have to say I prefer the 40mm size 👍🏻
