Minerva

Minerva’s legacy in fine watchmaking began in Villeret, where the original manufacture was founded in 1858. Today, the same historic building is home to its workshops, where master watchmakers create high-quality timepieces while preserving the Minerva heritage, dedicated to movement innovation and technical excellence. The timepieces demand true mastery of watchmaking techniques, an experienced eye and an intuitive understanding of a watch’s soul. These are all qualities developed over the course of a lifetime devoted to this art.

The Minerva manufacture represents a centre of excellence dedicated to high-end watchmaking movements. It is here that all its calibres are developed, from small functional complications to innovative “Grandes Complications”. While focused on perpetuating tradition, the Minerva manufacture innovates with singular purpose, ensuring the evolution of its watchmaking. The manufacture remains one of the last of its kind where the vast majority of traditional operations are still performed by hand. Consequently, every timepiece is individually crafted and assembled by a single watchmaker, with every movement representing a singular blend of heritage and high performance.
