The Story

Chapters of Angelus

I

The Chronodato of 1942, combining a chronograph with a full calendar, became the best selling watch in the house's history.

II

In 1958 the Tinkler introduced a waterproof automatic wristwatch with a quarter repeater, activated by a pusher at nine o'clock.

III

Revived in 2011 after decades of slumber, the house now creates limited series of mechanical watches in La Chaux de Fonds.

IV

Angelus received the Chronograph Prize at the Grand Prix d'Horlogerie de Genève for its yellow gold Chronographe Télémètre.

The Signature

The Chronographe Télémètre

The pusher is pressed and the chronograph sets off across its telemeter scale.
