Sporty Angelus Tourbillon Timepieces for Holiday Gifting

Angelus

Swiss watchmaker Angelus is known for creating tourbillon timepieces with an athletic edge, which makes these Angelus models the ideal gifts for any watch lover or style-conscious, active person this holiday season.

Choose from the highly complex new GPHG-nominated chronograph, the U30, the cocktail-inspired U23, or the shock-resistant U41.

 

High impact style and performance: the Angelus U41

The Angelus U41 makes the perfect gift for anyone who loves highly technical sports gear that is ready for action.

The sporty blue and orange U41 models protect their skeletonized house-made movements with shock-absorption plates, cradled within strong yet lightweight titanium cases, even if the wearer is completing death-defying stunts like world-renowned freestyle skier and Angelus ambassador Thibault Magnin. 

The Angelus U41 models are characterized by a graphically structured, open-worked movement enclosed within a 42 mm titanium case that unfolds in a series of black and transparent sections that is both minimalist and graphic.

An ultra-light and ultra-sporty chronograph: the Angelus U30 Tourbillon Rattrapante

The U30 is a complicated and sporty luxury timepiece like no other, recently shortlisted by the 2021 Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève for the best chronograph (the equivalent of the watchmaking Academy Awards). 

The 47mm black DLC titanium case with openworked edges houses one of the most complex automatic skeletonized movements in the world. Built like a supercar, the incredible Angelus design unites a variety of prestigious and highly coveted complications: a tourbillon, flyback, and split-second chronograph.

A total of 350 components make up the open-worked movement, all treated with black DLC and accentuated in grey. The supremely sporty, ultra-light split-second chronograph offers an incredible horological pedigree, making this the gift of choice for the athlete who appreciates high-end yet high-performance watches.

Small batch, strong flavor: the cocktail-inspired Angelus U23 

For the tastemaker who enjoys a taste of the finer things, gift a unique Angelus U23 skeletonized flying tourbillon timepiece. Limited to just 8 pieces total, the Swiss watchmaker crafted this small-batch series to satiate both watch enthusiasts and lovers of fine cocktails.

The colorful skeletonized PVD-treated titanium bridges of the U23 series recall the vivid hues of a classic cocktail in eight distinct shades that coordinate with the minute circle. Each shade identifies a unique piece named after a cocktail. The eclectic menu offers classics and rarities that cater to a range of tastes. U23 Negroni is orange, like the blend of Gin and Vermouth. U23 Cosmopolitan adopts the shade of blueberry Vodka. U23 Ocean View startles in Curaçao blue and U23 Tequila Sunrise recreates the orange, pink and blue layers formed by citrus fruit juice and grenadine with the idyllic sea in the background. Each sporty, technical, and finely honed U23 timepiece suspends the Angelus A-250 caliber within an ultra-light yet super-strong, scratch-resistant titanium and CTP (Carbon Thin Ply) composite case. The interplay between the solid metal and textured carbon fiber infuses the U23 with visual energy.
