WATCHES
ANGELUS
U10 TOURBILLON LUMIÈRE
A sleeping beauty returns to the fore. A pioneer from the time
of its creation in the late nineteenth century, Angelus has set
numerous milestones in the history of Swiss watchmaking,
such as its famous travel clocks that display their various
indications on multiple dials. The brand now draws on this
heritage, together with 1960s-70s industrial design, to deliver
an avant-garde wristwatch. Proposed as a 25-piece limited
series, U10 Tourbillon Lumière presents a flying tourbillon,
distinct from the time display including deadbeat seconds,
combined with a linear power-reserve indicator on the side
of the case. Seven sapphire crystals, including four that frame
the flying tourbillon, allow light to flood this mechanical
marvel to create three-dimensional effects.
