| In the serene Swiss village of Villeret, a handful of artisans uphold the enduring legacy of Minerva—where time is measured not in seconds, but in centuries of craftsmanship.

Recently, Senior Business Editor Andy Hoffman had the opportunity to visit this watchmaking jewel for an exclusive behind-the-scenes look.  |
