The Minerva watch manufacture established in 1858 produces fine handmade watches in a time-honored fashion. A forward-looking brand it encourages new and modern tools and production while maintaining the spirit of a small company. In 2007 Minerva joined forces with renowned fountain pen producer Montblanc and created the Minerva Institute for Research in Fine Watchmaking to safeguard the companys savoir faire and craftsmanship.
