Made for one specific audience, it featured a dual scale for reading the vital signs of the patient during an examination a pulsometer to measure the pulse and an asthmometer to measure the respiratory rate. Original, and designed with one mission in mind, this watch was a hand-wound chronograph with a unique dial. The watch that is about to be released by Angelus and Massena LAB is modelled after a 1960s doctor’s watch, with a rather surprising display. The inspiration for the new Angelus Chronographe Médical x Massena LAB, a 1960s doctor’s watch This new collection, which comes next to the modern creations, is named La Fabrique and is a separate category created specifically for tribute watches (and now, I’m looking forward to a classic Chronodato…) And William Massena, with his design studio Massena LAB, inaugurates this new range with something very, very appealing. But Angelus is about to bring something more to its portfolio, something that pays tribute to the immensely rich past of the brand – and something that, I’m sure, many watch enthusiasts will be happy to see.

We’re talking about contemporary, bold high-end watchmaking. No debate regarding the watchmaking skills or the complexity of the watches, however. There was a choice not to create vintage re-editions, but instead to imagine what Angelus would have become if it had remained in existence. If you look at the current collection of Angelus, it surely doesn’t reflect what the brand has done in the past. And to inaugurate this new collection named La Fabrique, the brand has teamed up with design studio Massena LAB, who has created a re-edition of a stunning vintage doctor’s watch, which is now powered by an internally-produced movement (and what a movement indeed…) Let’s have a closer look at the new Angelus x Massena LAB Chronographe Médical. Well, things are changing, with the return of classic chronographs and traditional hand-wound movements. It’s a deliberate choice, but some fans of the name Angelus and of its superb vintage chronographs were slightly puzzled. While Angelus is part of the well-respected independent watchmakers around, and a brand with a very rich history, it took a modern and bold direction when it was revived a few years ago next to sister-company Arnold & Son.
