A faithful tribute to the original model, the Tinkler 1958 repeater celebrates Angelus’s rich heritage of striking watches.

Driven by a self-winding quarter-repeater movement, this double limited edition, available in gold or steel, continues the tradition of measuring instruments that built the manufacture’s reputation.

Sound – at the origin of Angelus

From its establishment in 1891, the name Angelus has been synonymous with the chiming of a bell. A ringing that has resonated throughout history, marking time in towns and villages long before personal timepieces were invented.

Almost exactly 130 years ago, on 15 April 1896, the brothers Albert and Gustav Stolz filed one of the Maison’s first patents for ‘a silent strike governor for repeater mechanisms’. Since then, repeater mechanisms have always been at the heart of Angelus collections.

Putting this technical philosophy to meaningful use, Angelus designed Braille- repeating watches for soldiers blinded during the First World War. They indicated time using sound or touch through hour markers paired with Braille markers – an approach to watchmaking in which technology was fully dedicated to functionality.

Angelus went on to direct its research to other complications and patented several major inventions, including the famous Chronodate in 1942. In the 1950s, Angelus returned to repeater mechanisms, filing a patent for ‘a striking wristwatch’ in 1958. This was immediately followed by the Tinkler, equipped with this patented movement and considered a pioneer of water-resistant, self-winding quarter-repeater watches.

An original tribute

Inspired by this glorious history, Angelus is today reissuing one of its rarest, most refined models: the Tinkler, based on the original 1958 edition. The gold version is limited to 15 pieces, while the steel version is limited to 25.

The 38-mm case charms with a decidedly 1950s aesthetic – clean, understated and elegant. At 9 o’clock, the crown is balanced by a pusher that activates the quarter repeater, a functional and historical hallmark of the model.

The screw-down case back bears the ‘A’ monogram, a discrete yet distinct reminder of the Maison’s identity.

The subtly domed white sunburst dial features the hour markers characteristic of the original piece. At noon, the modernist-style numeral 12 underscores the watch’s character, while at 3, 6 and 9 o’clock – key positions for the quarter repeater – distinctive, exclamation-shaped hour markers appear. Complex and delicate, with a gilded finish, these dial elements complete a faithful tribute to the heritage of Angelus.

The Tinkler 1958 comes on an alligator flank leather strap, an original choice that further enhances the watch’s vintage and idiosyncratic character. The leather is a deep ink blue for the 18-carat gold version and a warm saddle brown for the steel model. The pin buckle, matching the case, comes in gold or stainless steel. 

Precision, striking, refinement

The Tinkler 1958 edition is driven by the new Angelus A600 calibre. On request, by pressing the pusher at 9 o’clock, it strikes the hours and the quarters. Each hour is marked by a clear strike on the first gong.

If necessary, the calibre then performs a double strike on two gongs to signal each quarter hour, up to a maximum of three sequences. True to its heritage as a maker of measuring instruments, Angelus takes an acoustic approach that is both distinctive and accessible. The Tinkler collection features clear, precise, striking

The Angelus A600 self-winding mechanical calibre beats at 4 Hz and offers a 70-hour power reserve.

Its finishing demonstrates the watchmaker’s attention to detail: snail-finished main plate, palladium-plated bridges adorned with Côtes de Genève with polished angles, rimmed wheels, blued and chamfered screws with mirror-polished heads, and a tungsten sunburst oscillating weight.
 
A tradition of specialities

Throughout its history, Angelus has consistently defined itself as a maker of speciality watches.

Even today, within its La Fabrique line, the Maison offers only collections featuring functions dedicated to a particular activity, profession or specialised use.

Its speciality chronographs – for motor racing, medical use and telemeter measurement – attest to this. The Tinkler 1958 is part of this famous legacy, the modern embodiment of daring yet functional tradition.

ANGELUS - CHRONODATE Gold & CHRONODATE Titanium Moka Editions

Mocha is a word that conjures up delicious, roasted flavours that blend sweetness and intensity. It also evokes the amber colour adorning the new dials in the Chronodate collection. Paired with a multi-material case and the A-500 self-winding chronograph calibre, this chocolate-tinged theme also extends to the large scales of an alligator strap.

Between golden hues and satin-finished textures, the mocha spirit reveals the richness of a refined universe in two limited editions: five red-gold timepieces and twenty-five titanium timepieces.

Since its return in a neo-retro style, Chronodate has been offering a fusion of two different styles: Angelus, the historic brand imbued with Swiss watchmaking heritage, and Angelus, the modern, technical brand with a penchant for extreme complications. This subtle marriage is what defines the collection.

Preparation

These Chronodate Moka editions come in a complex 42.5 mm case that combines carbon composite with either red gold (5N) or titanium (grade 5). The movement is housed in a container machined from a rigid yet lightweight carbon-fibre-based composite. The chronograph pushers, also in carbon composite, are applied directly to this chamber.

Around this container, Angelus has designed an openworked cradle that unites the case middle and lugs in a single line. This ensemble also houses a fixed bezel marked with twelve notches. This modular superstructure makes it possible to offer one or more materials.

The energy emanating from this chamfered profile and from the alternating straight and curved lines gives the Chronodate Moka a full-bodied feel.

On the case back, the conventional markings are engraved in relief, providing a sharp and precise visual contrast that is in harmony with the finishes adorning the movement.

Origins

Chronodate serves as a historical reminder of the brand’s origins, as Angelus became a leading manufacturer of chronographs in the 1930s. These timepieces featured a smaller diameter, in keeping with the taste of the time, and counters that stood out for being particularly large and legible. It is thus only fitting that Angelus is now presenting a Chronodate with large-diameter, easy-to-read counters.

The 30-minute chronograph totaliser and small seconds counter stand out from the dial thanks to their metallic black colour and snailed texture, which contribute to the modernity of the Chronodate design.

The dominant shade – mocha-brown with an amber shimmer – is applied with a fine sunray-brushed effect that is highlighted by the minutes circle. The final additions to the colour palette are the gold-finished applied Arabic numerals and hands filled with luminescent material. 

Mechanics

Angelus has fitted these Chronodate Moka models with its own Manufacture chronograph movement, the A-500 calibre, which displays the small seconds at 9 o’clock and a 30-minute totaliser at 3 o’clock. 

Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO 

A pointer-type date display runs around the periphery of the dial, like on the famous original Chronodate that was unveiled in 1942. Its red, openworked arrowhead indicates the colour chosen to adorn the secondary displays: the markings on the chronograph pushers, the tip of the chronograph’s direct-drive seconds hand and the hand on the 30-minute counter are all finished with red lacquer.

The A-500 calibre stands out for its bold, contemporary decoration that is in keeping with both the traditional codes of its history and its current evolution. The sandblasted main plate and bead-blasted bridges highlight the volumes of the movement and are treated with NAC, a surface treatment that modifies the appearance and properties of the metal, giving it an anthracite-grey hue.

The retaining screws are shaped like three-bladed propellers, an Angelus signature that bears witness to the house’s advanced research into aesthetics. Finally, the edges of the main elements are chamfered and satin-finished, offering a subtle play of light that mirrors the matt finishes.

This movement, oscillating at 4 Hz, is driven by a column wheel and a horizontal clutch to reduce its thickness. The A-500 calibre has a power reserve of 60 hours.

Its self-winding system operates by means of an oscillating weight featuring a red-gold segment on the Chronodate Gold version and a tungsten segment on the Chronodate Titanium model.

Its design is taken from the brand’s archives, with a capital letter ‘A’ above a star, evoking a bell and its clapper. It alludes to the early days of Angelus, right at the heart of the mechanism.

ANGELUS – TOURBILLON Flying Tourbillon Skeleton Titanium - Orange Edition

 

ANGELUSTOURBILLON Flying Tourbillon Skeleton  Titanium Orange Edition 2025

 Flying Tourbillon Titanium, Orange Edition
A zest for precision

The Maison Angelus, founded in 1891 by the Stolz brothers, is proud to announce the Flyling Tourbillon Skeleton Titanium, Orange Edition. For this limited edition of 25 pieces, Angelus presents a vibrant creation where skeletonised mechanics become a canvas for colour and graphic expression. 

 Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO

The satin finish titanium case confronts the deep black of the movement, brought to life by vivid orange accents that highlight the time displays and are echoed on the three interchangeable straps offered. The whole is a symphony of powerful contrasts, enhanced by the three-dimensional beauty of an openwork calibre designed as an interplay of interlocking circles.

A fusion of energies

Every detail of this 42.5 mm timekeeper expresses a facet of the energy that animates it. Chromatic energy, with orange as the signature colour. Customisable energy, with interchangeable straps: black alligator leather for elegance, textured orange rubber for sport or integrated titanium for architectural continuity. 

 Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO

Light energy, revealed by the skeletonised movement. Structural energy, in the layering of levels and depths. And finally, graphic energy, embodied by the three-dimensional architecture of the A-310 calibre.

Energy in harmony

The Flying Tourbillon Skeleton Titanium dial showcases a masterful interplay of volumes. An orange peripheral minute track floats above a black flange adorned with hour markers crafted for the first time by Angelus in monolithic blocks of Super-LumiNova. These luminous markers guarantee optimal readability, even in the dark, and accentuate the contemporary design. 

 Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO

The contrast of colours and materials intensifies with the three straps proposed. The quick-release system provides a smooth transition between elegance, sport and a complete technical aesthetic, offering the wearer true freedom of style. 

 Energy in the details

The case’s construction demonstrates the watchmaker’s technical savoir-faire. At its heart is a carbon composite case chamber, exceptionally light yet remarkably rigid, ensuring optimal protection for the movement. 

 Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO

Encasing this technical core, a modular titanium outer cage enhances stability while emphasising the sophisticated mechanical aesthetic. Within the A-310 calibre, Angelus’s signature wheels – each with three openwork double spokes – create an optical choreography leading to the flying tourbillon. Suspended without an upper bridge, the tourbillon is supported by a bridge angled at 160°.

 Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO

This intentional asymmetry accentuates the visual tension and dynamic balance. As for the retaining screws, they feature the three-blade propeller design – a distinctive stylistic hallmark of the Maison.

Gear train energy

 The calibre of the Flying Tourbillon Skeleton Titanium, housed at the heart of the timepiece, is an advanced interpretation of the flying tourbillon skeleton. Designed with a three-dimensional structure, it combines an openwork main plate with lightweight circular bridges to maximise transparency, rigidity and precision. 

 Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO

At 1 o’clock, a large-diameter barrel ensures a stable distribution of energy, balancing the small seconds at 9 o’clock and the tourbillon at 6 o’clock, which completes a rotation every minute. Oscillating at a frequency of 4 Hz, the movement offers a 60-hour power reserve, guaranteeing performance and endurance in a skeletonised format that optimises space. 

L.A.B, the Angelus manifesto

The Flying Tourbillon Skeleton Titanium, Orange Edition fully embodies the watchmaking philosophy of Angelus L.A.B. – Legacy and Beyond. A real innovation statement, this collection combines high-level technical mastery, bold architecture and clean design to transform mechanics into contemporary artwork.
