Founded in 1891 by the brothers Albert and Gustave Stolz in Le Locle, Angelus has a long and distinguished history. Since the 1930s, the manufacture has specialized in chronographs with its own calibers, a legacy that has made Angelus synonymous with precise and innovative timepieces of the 20th century.
With the introduction of the Chronodato in 1942, Angelus once again made history: it was the first mass-produced chronograph with a full calendar, a groundbreaking technical achievement.
A particularly fascinating feature of this watch is the unusual arrangement of the calendar windows. While they are usually placed next to each other at 12 o'clock, the Chronodato elegantly separates them: the month is at 12 o'clock, the day at 6 o'clock - an architectural design that gives the dial outstanding symmetry. The small second at 9 o'clock and the 45-minute chronograph counter at 3 o'clock complete this harmonious arrangement. The fine feuille hands and the two Roman numerals at 12 o'clock and 6 o'clock underline the elegant refinement and give the watch an incomparable vintage charm.
The uniform patina of the dial is particularly striking, preserving the character and authenticity of this over 80-year-old timepiece. The generous 38mm yellow gold case is an absolute rarity in this era, and looks even larger when worn on the wrist. Its unique look is completed by the exotic, fancy lugs that give it an unmistakable presence.
With this watch on your wrist, you are wearing a rare masterpiece of watchmaking - a timepiece of inestimable value that few can call their own.
