What's Happening?
Angelus, in collaboration with Massena LAB, has introduced a limited edition chronograph, the Angelus Chronographe Télémètre. This timepiece is crafted from 18-karat yellow gold and features a 37mm case
with a slim profile of 9.25mm. The design is inspired by a historic steel chronograph from William Massena’s personal collection, featuring a vintage-inspired black dial with a box-shaped sapphire crystal. The watch includes a telemeter scale, which allows the wearer to measure the distance to an event that produces both light and sound, a feature originally developed for infantry soldiers. The chronograph is paired with a black Saffiano calfskin leather strap, and pricing is available upon request.
Why It's Important?
The collaboration between Angelus and Massena LAB highlights a growing trend in the luxury watch industry where brands partner to create unique, limited edition pieces that appeal to collectors and enthusiasts. This partnership not only enhances the brand's prestige but also taps into the nostalgia and historical significance of vintage designs. The inclusion of a telemeter scale adds a functional and scientific element to the watch, appealing to those interested in both horology and history. Such collaborations can drive interest and sales in the luxury watch market, which is a significant segment of the global luxury goods industry.
