 Cronografo Telemetro Blu Ministeriale A Swiss chronograph, an Italian story

Designed for Italy and developed in collaboration with a select group of Italian retailers, the Cronografo Telemetro Blu Ministeriale reinterprets the blue of Italian authority in a limited edition that combines classical elegance with technical sophistication.

The Blu Ministeriale is more than a simple colour variation of the Angelus Chronographe Télémètre; it is a concept in its own right, one in which colour becomes a common thread linking the watch, its origins and watchmaking culture.

Italian at heart

Angelus chose Blu Ministeriale as the central theme of a project conceived for Italy with Italy: a select group of retailers, limited distribution, a distinctive visual profile and an aesthetic defined by restraint, elegance and a strong sense of ceremony.

This limited edition is the embodiment of an identity, a territory and a narrative: the visible expression of a dialogue between Swiss watchmaking expertise and Italian sensibility.

Blu Ministeriale: Italy’s official blue

Blu Ministeriale holds a special place in the Italian imagination. Deep, rich and restrained, this shade of blue recalls official vehicles and, more broadly, a whole world associated with Italy’s public institutions. Neither black, nor grey, nor ostentatious, it embodies a refined discretion that is immediately recognisable.

Some colours transcend fashion and express an attitude, a status and a culture. Blu Ministeriale is one such colour. Understated and confident without being austere, it evokes light leather interiors, gold detailing, official silhouettes and a distinctive sense of formal Italian elegance. It is neither a sporting blue, nor a nautical blue, nor the electric blue of the 1970s, but a shade intended to convey enduring presence and stature.

An idea, a chronograph, a story

Applied to the chronograph dial, this shade of blue goes beyond simple aesthetics, becoming an expression of Italian style, culture and heritage.

This distinctive hue gave rise to a special edition of the Angelus monopusher chronograph: ten pieces in yellow gold and twenty in steel, developed for the Italian market and available exclusively through four selected retail partners: Verga 1947 in Milan, Montres & Bijoux in Genoa, Camparini Gioielli in Reggio Emilia et P. Bastiani in Trieste. The project highlights the role of these family-owned retailers, which have become true points of reference for collectors over the years.

The Blu Ministeriale on the dial is intense and deep. It shifts with the light without ever becoming too bright, retaining a strong but perfectly controlled presence. The grained surface adds texture and depth, while the satin-finished flange introduces a subtle contrast. The gilded numerals and hour markers contribute warmth and elegance. Used sparingly, the touches of red bring a graphic yet refined accent.

The technical foundations

With its 37 mm diameter, compact yet assertive presence on the wrist, and chronograph pusher integrated into the crown, the Cronografo Telemetro Blu Ministeriale follows directly in the footsteps of the Chronographe Télémètre, winner of the Chronograph Prize at the 2025 Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève.

It is powered by the A5000 calibre, an integrated manual-winding chronograph movement manufactured by Angelus. Featuring a column wheel and horizontal clutch, it is equipped with a small seconds display at 9 o’clock, a 30-minute counter at 3 o’clock and a 42-hour power reserve.

The timepiece’s architecture underlines Angelus’s technical savoir-faire and its commitment to the great tradition of the classic chronograph.

A discreet celebration of excellence

Angelus and its partners have chosen to limitt his edition of Blu Ministeriale to 10 pieces in 18-carat gold (3N) and 20 in stainless steel. The case back is engraved with “Uno di Dieci” or “Uno di Venti”, emphasising the decidedly exclusive nature of each watch.

Some pieces include the signature of one of our four partners on the dial in a subtle tribute to a 20th-century watchmaking tradition that saw leading retailers add their name to watches that would later become horological icons.

The Cronografo Telemetro Blu Ministeriale embodies a sophisticated dialogue between Switzerland and Italy, where Swiss watchmaking expertise meets Italian refinement. The result is a chronograph with balanced proportions and a confident presence, whose restraint accentuates the richness of its details. A watch that reveals itself over time under the gaze and sensibility of its owner.

This creation evokes a distinctly Italian perception of elegance and visual heritage through a colour of conviction, precise and self-assured.

ANGELUS – Instrument de Mesures Chronographe Telemetre Edition

 

ANGELUSLA FABRIQUE Instrument de Mesures Chronograph Télémètre Edition 2026

 Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO 

Instrument de Mesures
Triple scale

Telemeter, pulsometer, tachymeter: Angelus unites the chronograph’s key functional scales in a single design. True to its heritage as a maker of functional timepieces, Angelus brings together the expertise developed through its previous instruments in the Instrument de Mesures. 

   Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO 

Produced in two limited editions of 25 pieces, this watch is a genuine instrument of measurement, designed to calculate elapsed time, the speed of sound, distance travelled and heart rate. Using a single chronograph hand, it integrates three functions, each with its own dedicated scale. 

   Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO 

Housed in a 39 mm steel case, its three-dimensional dial is both highly legible and meticulously graduated, giving the Instrument de Mesures the character of an authentic tool watch with a distinctive vintage charm and singular identity.

One instrument, several measurements

With its extensive metrological capabilities, this model remains true to Angelus’s historical mission: creating the functional complications that have forged its reputation among collectors.

   Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO  

From alarm watches and chronographs to eight-day movements, Angelus has always designed its mechanics to serve a practical purpose and the wearer's needs.

   Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO 

This new piece follows in the footsteps of the of 2023, the Instrument de Vitesse launched in 2024 and the Chronographe Télémètre, winner of the Chronograph Prize at the Grand Prix d’Horologie de Genève in 2025

   Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO  

The Instrument de Mesures represents the culmination of these earlier creations, bringing   together their three signature scales – a telemeter, a pulsometer and a tachymeter – within a single watch.

Two editions

The Instrument de Mesures is available in two limited editions of 25 pieces. The first features an ebony-black dial, with the scales arranged from the outer edge towards the centre in shades of blue, orange and cream. 

  Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO 

The second pairs an ivory-white dial with blue, red and green markings. The finely grained surface of the dials is complemented by syringe hands, a design signature directly inspired by the 1960s chronographs that Angelus pays tribute to here.

At 39 mm in diameter, the steel case combines balanced proportions with a slender profile. The twisted lugs flow naturally from the case band, creating a fluid and harmonious silhouette.

The bezel’s simplicity gives the dial centre stage. And beneath a box-shaped sapphire crystal, the generous dial opening highlights what makes the Instrument de Mesures unique: its multiple graduated scales, designed to provide a clear and intuitive reading of its various functions.

Three scales

The telemeter gauges the distance to a sound-producing event by calculating the time elapsed between seeing it and hearing it. The pulsometer makes it easy to measure heart rate: simply count 15 beats to obtain a pulse reading. 

    Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO 

Finally, the tachymeter determines an object’s average speed over a distance of one kilometre. On the Instrument de Mesures the scale covers speeds from 20 km/h to 500 km/h. 

 Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO  

The various scales are straightforward to use. To measure an event, just start the chronograph using the single pusher integrated into the crown. A second press stops it at the end of the measurement. 

   Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO  

The position of the central seconds hand on the corresponding scale immediately indicates the result. Pressing the pusher a third time resets the chronograph to zero, ready for a new measurement.

Four sections

Integrating these three scales alongside the essential minute track required a particularly sophisticated design approach. 

  Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO 

The amount of information to be displayed, combined with the need for legibility and clarity, led Angelus to adopt a distinct colour code for each function. This arrangement is reinforced by a three-dimensional dial construction, featuring a domed centre and outer edge connected by a sloping intermediate section.

   Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO 

To achieve the necessary depth, Angelus implemented an innovative manufacturing process that involved laser-cutting directly into the material. The markings appear to emerge subtly from the dial, present without compromising legibility. 

 Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO  

The telemetric scale is situated on the highest level at the periphery of the dial. The pulsometer extends across the angled intermediate section, and the tachymeter, in the form of a spiral, is located closest to the hands.

   Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO  

Designed according to a rigorous visual hierarchy, this three-dimensional construction naturally draws attention to the essential information. 

  Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO 

A functional approach that perfectly embodies the vocation of the Instrument de Mesures as a true instrument watch conceived above all as a tool for reading and measurement.

Five thousand


The Instrument de Mesures is powered by Angelus’s in-house A5000 chronograph calibre. Its classical architecture showcases numerous intricately shaped components, providing an ideal canvas for high-end finishing. The abundance of bevelled edges is a testament to the Manufacture’s traditional craftsmanship.

   Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO 

Visible through the sapphire case back, the chronograph mechanism immediately draws the eye. Its palladium-treated elements stand out strikingly against the rest of the movement, which has a 3N gilded finish. This contrast emphasises the complexity of the construction and highlights all the components involved in time measurement.

   Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO 

Faithful to the great traditions of chronograph watchmaking, the A5000 incorporates a column wheel and a horizontal clutch, both defining features of traditional chronographs. A technical choice that combines mechanical refinement, operating pleasure and fidelity to the vintage spirit that defines the watch.

ANGELUS – LA FABRIQUE Tinkler 1958 Repeater Editions

 

ANGELUSLA FABRIQUE Tinkler 1958 Quarter Repeater 38mm Yellow Gold & Steel Editions 2026

Tinkler 1958
Precision at a quarter turn

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

  Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO  

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. 

   Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO 

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.

  Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO 

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.

  Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO 

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. 

  Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO   

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.

  Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO  
 
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. 
 
  Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO 
 
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. 
 
  Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO  

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.
