CHRONOGRAPHE MEDICAL
In the 1960s, Angelus introduced its “doctor’s watch,” a wristwatch with a distinctive dial and chronograph movement. This unique timepiece included a dual-scale device used to measure vital signs during patient examinations, specifically a pulsometer and an asthmometer.
Reflecting the trend of the 1950s and 1960s, which saw chronographs being specialised for specific functional or professional needs, this rare watch has been modernised in collaboration with Massena LAB. The Chronographe Médical x Massena LAB is a re-edition that includes several subtle differences from the original design.
It is powered by the A5000 movement, an Angelus calibre with manual winding and an integrated chronograph. The case is made of 316L steel, a surgical-grade alloy, making it suitable for a doctor’s watch. Additionally, the case diameter has been increased to 39mm to enhance the legibility of the pulsometer scale.
INSTRUMENT DE VITESSE
Instrument de Vitesse, the second creation in La Fabrique collection, revives the golden age of timed racing with a chronograph distilled to its purest form.
Inspired by the dashboard instruments of vintage GT cars, this monopusher chronograph measures short bursts of speed using a single timing hand—the central seconds—capable of timing up to 60 seconds against a peripheral tachymeter scale. Its domed dial is divided between the tachymeter scale and a finely graduated minutes track, with typography developed specifically for the La Fabrique collection.
Housed in a refined 39 mm steel case, Instrument de Vitesse is powered by the famous A5000 manufacture calibre, featuring a traditional column wheel and horizontal clutch.
Chronographe télémètre
The Chronographe Télémètre joins the La Fabrique collection as a refined tribute to the brand’s historic expertise in chronographs.
Released in limited editions in steel or yellow gold, the watch features a compact 37 mm case, a vintage-inspired dial and a mono-pusher integrated into the winding crown.
Designed as a short-interval timekeeping instrument, it incorporates a telemeter scale that measures the distance of an event based on the speed of sound—an elegant reminder of the scientific and technical role chronographs once played.
The timepiece is powered by the in-house hand-wound A5000 calibre, delivering a classic chronograph architecture with refined bicolour finishing.
The 18-carat yellow gold version has received major recognition, winning the Chronograph Award at the Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève (GPHG), confirming the model’s excellence in contemporary chronograph design.
TINKLER 1958
Rooted in Angelus’ heritage—dating back to the Stolz brothers’ early repeater patents in the late 19th century—the Tinkler 1958 continues the brand’s tradition of creating specialised timepieces where technical ingenuity serves practical function.
This contemporary reinterpretation is released in two limited editions in gold and in steel and pays tribute to one of Angelus’ rarest and most refined historical timepieces, celebrating the House’s long-standing expertise in striking watches.
The elegant 38 mm case with clean lines features a pusher at 9 o’clock that activates the quarter-repeater mechanism, a hallmark of the model, which strikes the hours and quarters on demand: a single chime for each hour followed, when necessary, by double strikes to indicate the quarters.
The watch is powered by the in-house manufactured A600 automatic calibre, beating at 4 Hz and offering a 70-hour power reserve.
INSTRUMENT DE Measures
Telemeter, pulsometer, tachymeter: Angelus unites the chronograph’s key functional scales in a single design. True to its heritage as a maker of functional timepieces, Angelus brings together the expertise developed through its previous instruments in the Instrument de Mesures. Produced in two limited editions of 25 pieces, this watch is a genuine instrument of measurement, designed to calculate elapsed time, the speed of sound, distance travelled and heart rate. Using a single chronograph hand, it integrates three functions, each with its own dedicated scale. Housed in a 39 mm steel case, its threedimensional dial is both highly legible and meticulously graduated, giving the Instrument de Mesures the character of an authentic tool watch with a distinctive vintage charm and singular identity.
