In a captivating partnership with Massena LAB, Angelus has released the Chronographe Télémètre, a timepiece distilling the brand’s renowned technical prowess into an gorgeously compact and elegant form. This 18k yellow gold monopusher chronograph is a testament to classical design and modern horological excellence, offering a rare merger of vintage inspiration and contemporary execution.
The timepiece presents a masterclass in elegant proportions
Crafted from 18k yellow gold, the 37mm case with its 9.25mm profile is considered one of the refined and wearable contemporary chronographs on the market today. Its slim bezel elegantly frames a mesmerizing grained black dial, a rare color for Angelus, inspired by a vintage piece from William Massena’s personal collection. This textured backdrop provides perfect legibility for the polished gold-plated Arabic numerals and the two radially grooved subsidiary dials, all protected under a graceful box sapphire crystal. The overall aesthetic is one of understated luxury and classic elegance.
Exemplary finishing defines the sophisticated in-house movement
Powering this timepiece is the impeccably finished, in-house manual-winding Caliber A5000. This movement incorporates a single pusher, cleverly integrated into the crown, to command the chronograph functions. Beyond its technical genius, the movement features bridges beveled and finished in 3N gold, palladium-coated chronograph components for contrast, and exquisitely brushed steel levers. The meticulous circular graining on the gear wheels and polished screws brings an added depth of texture that confirms its exemplary craftsmanship.
This collaboration is a testament to wearable horological art
The Angelus Chronographe Télémètre Massena LAB successfully captures the soul of a vintage chronograph while delivering the technical brilliance and flawless finishing demanded by progressive connoisseurs. It stands as a pinnacle of collaboration where historical elegance meets modern mechanical artistry.
