Minerva, a Villeret based watch manufacture established in the 19th century, that was known for great quality and reasonably priced timepiece based mostly on vintage calibre. In the early 2000s, under the ownership of Emilio Gnutti and direction of Demetrio Cabiddu, there was an ambition and goal to become a manufacture that produces the finest and highest quality timepieces. Unfortunately due to the economic crisis, Minerva was sold to the Richemont Group under the helm of Montblanc.

During the short period of the ownership Minerva produced some incredible timepieces including some time only piece, chronographs and even tourbillon.

The reference M132001 is a monopusher chronograph powered with the Cal. 13-21 that is based on vintage Cal. 13-20 from the 1920s.
