TIMEPIECES

Angelus Gold Flying Tou | BY SOMNATH CHATTERJEE

T

he newest Angelus timepieces are a mixture of its past along with a highly complex design being layered with a modern outlook. It is a brand which has been brought back from the history books but has also been given a radical overhaul with its new positioning. Angeus now makes low volume exotic timepieces with an eccentric look. Its latest collection mirrors that philosophy with the Gold & Carbon Flying Tourbillon being dripping with exceptional craftsmanship. The red gold crown with wide notches has a rubber insert for better grip and has a symmetrical guard projecting from the lugs. The crenelated bezel has the Angelus’ signature slight angular lines. Elsewhere, the A-250skeletonized flying tourbillon caliber gets surrounded by an ultra-rigid and ultralight carbon composite container. It is held within an 18K 5N red gold case middle, which reveals another kind of skeletonization and serves as an open worked vehicle for an open worked movement. A black ballistic-style rubber strap with an interchangeable system and a red gold/titanium folding clasp brings in an interesting contrast. The A-250 caliber is made from woven carbon composite and again contrasts with the 18K red gold bridges. While the Gold & Carbon Flying Tourbillon has no dial, it does have a ‘flange’ being finished with a matte black PVD treatment. Being a flying tourbillon, it is only fixed in place from below and it is situated at 6 o’clock, next to a bridge that does not hold it in place as instead supports the first wheel. The workings are housed within a sapphire crystal glass box which is transparent and is angled vertically where it touches the bezel. The watch indeed sits at a unique place in the market with being a flying tourbillon at one hand and also being a sports watch with its rubber strap indicating a function led aesthetic appeal too. For a watch of this kind, its price-tag of CHF68,900 is also good value while being limited to 18 pieces.
