Link with the past.
The case design is inspired by the multi display travel clocks created by Angelus between the 30s to the 60s. Actually, Angelus was one of the first brands to offer multi displays on different dials with dedicated windows. The watch is also inspired by the industrial design of the 60s and the 60s.

Angelus, the rebirth of a brand, of a name.
Anthony had the good idea to post some excellent news in the " News Central ": " The rebirth of Angélus ". Angelus is a brand which was born in 1891, founded by the Stolz Brothers ( Albert and Gustave ), which ddidn't resist to the " Quartz Massacre " in...
I presumed they would make a Chronograph sooner or later.
I recently started seeing a series of teaser images on Instagram which go some ways to confirming this, it looks heavily skeletonised, no clues on case shape or any other details as yet, I am eager to see what they have done when it is ultimately revealed...
I can't figure out their pricing structure.
Seeing as they relaunched with Tourbillon it's hard to gauge where they will market their chronograph? As an 'independent' hand wound chronograph with nothing else to base it on I guess it could possibly sit in the same bracket as it's contemporaries..., ...
In the same time, if I am not wrong, Angelus made their own movement Chronograph.
So, we can expect anything. High end, or more affordable... I have no idea, here. I ma just excited to see what they will offer to us. Best, Nicolas
That Tinkler made me tick :)
Excellent post dear Tourqemada Rich history even without famous Panerai caliber Let's see what future will bring Sincerely D the new UI is killing me
The Tinkler is not my favorite. The Datalarm WT stole my heart.
As for the new UI, hey, my friend, I had to fight with a new Cell Phone ( Sony Experia ) and a new Lab Top ( Mac Book 15, 4 ) I have no doubt you will soon get used to the new UI! ;) Come on, you cannot be dumber than I am. ;) Best, Nicolas
Oh yes I can
oh yes I am :) Honestly what bothers me most is that Pinterest-Tweeter-Name the new media look We lost bit of purity IMHO.... without any offense...I can't see no gain with this UI Yes I'm that dumb :) Now I know how oldtimers felt when we moved to PPro p...
It is great to see an important brand getting up to steam again...
and the tourbillon looks really interesting (and with an extremely exciting dial, for sure!). But do you get the connection to the past? There seems to be a huge disconnect between the past and the present... I just hope that the power behind the name kno...
I don't see the link with the Past, except that...
Angelus made some original porducts ( see my original post ). Other than that... But I am prettty sure they will unveil some products with the DNA of the brand. Maybe they wanted to start with a high piece? Best, Nicolas

Misplaced time
I don't know why, but many companies do this where they offset the time dial, they do it to the '9' position on the dial/case. As most people wear a watch on the left wrist, you can't see the time without moving your cuff all the way off the watch. Others...
What's the name of the watch?
Tourbillon Lumière... so the focus was to put the Tourbillon under the spotlight and more important, to make it surrounded by the light. So the location on the right. Fx
