Angelus

To mark its first appearance at Only Watch, Angelus is playing on its name with one of the greatest wines from the Bordeaux terroir: Château Angelus. Their shared name presents more than just an opportunity, because passion, collection, perpetuating and patience are at work in the creation of both a watch and a great wine. The dial of the Chronodate Gold x Château Angelus one-off piece is made from freeze-dried lees from the 2022 vintage. The lot to be auctioned to raise funds for Duchenne muscular dystrophy research also includes a prestigious “Impériale” from the 2012 vintage and a few bottles of the Château's very rare Grand Vin Blanc.

In the 1960s, Angelus launched its “doctor’s watch”: a wrist-worn hand-wound chronograph with a unique dial. It presented a dual scale for reading the vital signs doctors need during patient examinations: a pulsometer – to measure the patient’s pulse – and an asthmometer – to record their respiratory rate. This rare piece, which follows the 1950s and 1960s trend of specialising chronographs to meet specific functional or professional requirements, has been brought up to date by Angelus to appeal to modern tastes.
