Minerva stoptimer board with three mechanical stopwatches, one rattrapante, from 1970, in near‑new condition, supplied in original box with manual; dimensions 32 × 38 × 3 cm.
Description from the seller
Exceptionally rare Minerva time-recording board, intended for accurately recording lap times and intermediate times in auto races, rallies, or other speed events. The board is implemented as a practical “stopwatch board” with three mechanical Minerva stopwatches, one of which is a rattrapante/split-second stopwatch. This allowed several times to be measured and compared almost simultaneously.
The board was used in conjunction with registration forms: the measured times could be noted directly on the paper.
The whole thing is in the original box and comes with the original Minerva manual. The Minerva label is also present on the board. The set has a nice technical and historical appearance and makes an interesting collectible for enthusiasts of motorsport, classical timekeeping, and Swiss stopwatch technology.
The three Minerva stopwatches are mechanically operated. One stopwatch is equipped with a rattrapante function. Two-stop, so pressing resets and immediately restarts (which is why you cannot stop both stopwatches at zero; they start running again immediately) with a handle to start and stop them exactly at the same moment.
See the photos for a good impression of construction and condition.
A rare and complete Minerva set for the collector of mechanical stopwatches, motorsport memorabilia, or professional timekeeping equipment.
