Angelus, an independent brand where tradition and innovation intersect, has added a new model to its La Fabrique collection. The Chronograph Telemeter, named after the name of the brand, is a genuine mechanical chronograph equipped with a monopusher mechanism and a telemeter scale. While boasting a modest 37mm case diameter, this limited edition model combines vintage-inspired details with modern manufacturing techniques and is available in three different dial colors.
Angelus announces limited edition "Chronograph Telemeter" model
Angelus has announced the Chronograph Telemeter, featuring a 37mm case and a monopusher mechanism, in limited editions of 25 pieces in stainless steel and 15 pieces in 18K yellow gold.
A timepiece with a history
Angelus adds a new chapter to its prestigious La Fabrique collection with this model, symbolizing its venerable tradition and sophisticated chronograph manufacturing techniques. Founded in 1891 by the Stolz brothers in Le Locle, the company has been creating innovative timepieces such as minute repeaters and chronographs since its inception. This new model is inspired by these legendary models and carries on the brand's iconic design codes.
A precision scale for measuring distance
The "telemeter" that gives the model its name is a scale that is linked to the chronograph hand and measures distance based on the speed of sound. For example, if you start the chronograph the moment you see lightning and stop it when you hear thunder, you can calculate the distance to the event based on the speed of sound (approximately 1240 km/h).
