Angelus Watches

Angelus is a Swiss luxury watch brand that has a rich and storied history. The company was founded in 1891 by two watchmakers, Albert and Gustav Stolz, in the Swiss town of Le Locle. In the early years, Angelus focused on producing high-quality pocket watches, which were in great demand at the time. However, with the advent of wristwatches in the early 1900s, Angelus shifted its focus to producing wristwatches, which quickly became its mainstay.

Throughout the 20th century, Angelus established a reputation for producing high-quality and innovative watches. The brand was particularly renowned for its chronographs and its work with complicated watch movements, including the development of the world’s first jumping-hour wristwatch in 1925.

Like many other prestigious watch brands, Angelus fell upon hard times during the 1970s quartz crisis and stopped production. The brand went dormant for over 40 years. Since then, the brand has been revitalized, and it continues to produce high-quality luxury watches that are prized by collectors and enthusiasts around the world.
