Minerva

Minerva's story begins in 1858 in Villeret, Switzerland, when brothers Charles-Yvan and Hyppolite Robert established a watchmaking business; the Minerva name was registered in 1887. The manufacture earned a reputation for finely finished mechanical movements and chronographs. Richemont acquired Fabrique d'Horlogerie Minerva SA in 2006 and integrated the Villeret workshops into Montblanc, where Minerva continues as Montblanc's haute-horlogerie manufacture for high-end complications and chronographs.
