The New Angelus Instrument of Measures
The Angelus Instrument de Mesures unites the brand’s recent chronograph innovations into a single, compact timepiece. Housed in a 39 mm stainless‑steel case with a polished bezel and twisted lugs, the watch features a multi‑level dial that incorporates telemeter, pulsometer and spiral tachymeter scales, each colour‑coded for clarity. A manually wound A5000 calibre powers the chronograph, offering a column‑wheel, horizontal‑clutch mechanism, 21,600 vibrations per hour and a 42‑hour power reserve, all visible through a sapphire case‑back. Available in ebony black or ivory white with matching calfskin leather straps, the Instrument de Mesures is limited to 25 pieces per dial colour and is priced at CHF 18,400 inclusive of VAT. Its design draws on Angelus’s heritage of eight‑day movements and historic chronographs, while the modern execution includes laser‑cut dial markings, Super‑LumiNova‑treated hands and a 30 m water resistance, delivering both functional precision and distinctive aesthetic appeal.
Buying Time Analysis: The Angelus Instrument de Mesures marks a pivotal convergence of the brand’s historic chronograph innovations, showcasing a unique multi‑function dial that unites telemeter, pulsometer, and tachymeter scales, and limited‑edition craftsmanship that underscores Angelus’s revival and relevance in contemporary haute horlogerie.
