Music: Uriah Heep Lyrics: Magnus Bosse (inspired by Uriah Heep...) For starters a flashback: Famous concert in German TV 1977: Now sing with me: "Timepiece in Black" She called me up one morning One lonely Sunday morning To lure me to a place I never went...  

Elegant, timeless, with a nicep resence, and a delicious movement. That is exactly why I love Minerva. I should get my first one as soon as possible. Nice illustration, too. Uriah Heep is another great band, which brings back to lovely memories. Best, nic...

That is an instant classic - WANT one!!! Cheers, pplater.

and someone unknown to me asked me to look at the watch - he better did not do that as I was hooked on the first second. The rest is history.... Cheers, Magnus

Magnus, A very nice piece. And I know it. Regards from his brother, who had recently a complete overhaul In Swiss. Regards Wim ...  

to complement its little brother - thanks for the image, Wim! BTW, how was the service experience? Cheers, Magnus

Magnus, I lost one of the push buttons, so it had to go back to the Minerva shop to replace that one. They found that the caliber had sufferd from moister inside and it could not leave the workshop without a complete overhaul. It took approx 6 weeks and t...
