Angelus
Chronodate Gold Black
$53,923
Angelus revisits its chronograph heritage with the Chronographe Télémètre, created in collaboration with Massena LAB and limited to just ten pieces. Crafted from 18k yellow gold and measuring a restrained 37 millimeters, it captures the elegance of 1940s design in a compact, perfectly balanced form. A single pusher integrated into the crown controls the hand-wound A5000 calibre, an in-house movement featuring a column wheel, horizontal clutch, and a 42-hour power reserve that speaks to traditional chronograph craftsmanship.
The black dial, a rarity in the Angelus archive, draws inspiration from a vintage piece in William Massena’s personal collection. Beneath the domed sapphire crystal, every detail is deliberate: a grained center, snailed subdials, and golden telemeter and tachymeter scales that frame the display. Polished gold numerals and hands, filled with Super-LumiNova, provide warmth and clarity, while the slim bezel and sharply curved lugs give the watch a refined presence on the wrist.
Delivered on a black Saffiano leather strap with a yellow gold pin buckle, the Chronographe Télémètre feels effortlessly balanced, both in size and spirit. Every detail speaks to restraint and purpose rather than excess, the sort of design that rewards time spent up close. It is a chronograph made for those who appreciate the quiet thrill of a hand-wound movement, the gleam of polished gold, and the satisfaction of a single, precise click.
