Angelus says its new Flying Tourbillon Titanium plays with the tension between circles and open-working.
How that tension manifests itself is hard to grasp, but the latest tourbillon piece certainly has many of its inter-connected circular gears, wheels and springs on display in a skeletonized timepiece made with bright blue bridges.
Angelus watches come from the same stable as the historic British Arnold & Sons marque, and the combined companies’ finishing is central to the new Tourbillon watch.
It comes in a 42.5mm titanium and carbon composite case housing a new hand-wound A-310 open-worked movement with its flying tourbillon at 6 o’clock.
It is a sophisticated and complex dial, but the watch only tells the time with central hours and minutes and a small seconds subdial at 9 o’clock.
It is designed to look just as good after dark, when the bright white Superluminova-filled hands and hour markers glow in a bright turquoise.
“Flying Tourbillon Titanium marks the second instalment of Angelus’ contemporary series. Two years after the launch of Chronodate, the brand has fitted its now famous and instantly recognisable titanium case with a flying tourbillon calibre,” Angelus says.
It is on sale now for CHF 45,000 on a strap or CHF 47,000 on its titanium bracelet.
