αλλη μια πιο μικρη αλλα σημαντικη εξαγορα,που εκανε το Richemont
Until 2006, Minerva was one of the world’s most exclusive collector brands, with in-house calibres, rigorously handmade to an extent rarely seen among elite watchmakers—with prices to match. It had a strong following of aficionados, and when it was acquired by luxury watch conglomerate Richemont six years ago, collectors feared the worst—that the workshop would become merely a production site for the group’s prestige brands, including Jaeger-LeCoultre, Lange & Sohne and IWC. They were stunned when Richemont followed up a year later with the news that Minerva’s movements would be dedicated exclusively to sister brand Montblanc, known more for writing instruments than watches.http://www.greekwatchforum.gr/index.php?topic=1923.0
