Very interesting post Mike!
I agree with you. Why not revisit this technique?
I will ask the folks at Montblanc Villeret. I think this is a great potential for the next TimeWriter program (isnt it TimeWriter 3?).
I wanna read up more on the vintage Minervas.
Actually the Montblanc Villeret Vintage Pulsograph was the first Montblanc Villeret I fell in love with at 39mm with a beautiful vintage inspired enamel dial. I believe that was inspired by a vintage Minerva Pulsograph.
I am still dreaming of the vintage Pulsograph. Not sure if I will one day end up with 2 Villerets, both with calibre 13.21 though.
Cheers

Wow! i would love to have a vintage Minerva stopwatch
like yours! I saw a Heur one for sale before but I would pick Minerva over it as I love the brand. They are very difficult to source though. Thanks for sharing your lovely stopwatch cazalea. These are the ancestors of my Montblanc Villeret chronograph. ch...
That is really a nice example
of the utilitarian/tool type of instrument Minerva was famous for. You can see what a transformation has occurred now. Honestly, I haven't seen a vintage Minerva chrono with the coiled springs...do you think it is under the plates in your version? Best, M...
How cool is that! Love these old things so much!
I would love to see something re introduced in the current catalog, too! Best, Nicolas
