Angelus Chronographe Tachymètre Monopusher

The watches feature a vintage-inspired profile with a 37mm diameter and 9.25mm thickness, making them among the most compact chronographs in modern production.
The case design includes a brushed and polished finish, a curved caseband, and sweeping, twisted lugs.
A tachymeter scale, calibrated to a base of 1,000 and starting at 500 km/h, is featured on the dial.
Dial options include a golden dial with British racing green details for the gold model, and a coral-pink/steel-grey or pearl-grey/petrol-blue combination for the steel versions.
The hand-wound A5000 calibre, developed by sister company La Joux-Perret, is based on the THA movement and features a column wheel and horizontal clutch.
The movement is finished with Geneva stripes, circular graining, and polished screws, with gold-finished mainplate and bridges and rhodium-plated steel chronograph components.
Each watch is fitted with a colour-matched calfskin strap and a pin buckle in matching metal.
