Bit of a grail for me but 25 years ago I missed my chance at finding one at sensble money. Only 140 made.
39mm Minerva calibre 17-22 pocket watch movement must be out there (albeit expensively potentially)? Also there are a few lookalikes.

Minerva 140th Anniversary Homage?
Just wondered if anybody had ever had a go at creating the 44mm Minerva 140th Anniversary as a homage?

Minerva is great 
I think it's not problem made this homage, if you have movement.. Big problem is made dial.. Do you know movement dimension is same ut6497?. I made one homade with glasshute movement and buy some case from ebay, after that start problem.. Very hard to find great master who drill inner diameter and stem holes in very hard stell..
