Fabrique d’Horlogerie Minerva SA is a small Swiss watch manufacturer based in Villeret in the Bernese Jura. The manufacturer produces its own hand-wound and chronograph calibers and creates particularly high-quality mechanical watches in the price range of 8,000 to 30,000 Swiss francs (5,000 to 19,000 euros). The Minerva brand was launched in 1923, and in 1929 the company was renamed Minerva SA, Villeret. In 1934, Minerva SA was taken over by Charles Haussener and Jacques Pelot. Business was particularly strong during World War II, during which 12,000 movements and watches were sold, many of them to the Swiss Army, which continues to purchase mechanical stopwatches from Minerva to this day. Our chronograph, featuring the well-known in-house Caliber 13-20 ch, impresses with its beautiful condition. Top-quality case and original radium dial and hands. The movement is also in very good, "unmodified" condition. A highly interesting watch for vintage military watch enthusiasts. 1-year dealer warranty
