History

Angelus is a Swiss watchmaking manufacturer that was founded by the Stolz brothers in Le Locle, Switzerland over a century ago. The brothers, who were former students of Henri Sandoz, a director of the Tavannes Watch Company, established their Angelus watchmaking manufacture in a modest room on Rue du Marais, Le Locle.

After qualifying as a watchmaker, the third brother, Charles Stolz, joined Angelus, and the brand began to grow and establish itself as a distinguished watchmaking manufacturer. Angelus quickly forged a fine reputation for creating exceptional chronograph and multi-complication wristwatches, multi-display travel clocks with long power reserves, and alarm watches.

Over the years, Angelus continued to innovate and develop its watches, and its pioneering, in-house-developed movements and timepieces during the 1940s, 50s, and 60s were universally hailed by connoisseurs of high-end watchmaking.

Under the stewardship of its new parent company, La Joux-Perret, Angelus unveiled its first collection of the 21st century, the Urban collection. This collection is a testament to Angelus' commitment to pushing the boundaries of watchmaking and upholds the brand's reputation for innovation, promising a thrilling new chapter in the brand's history.

Angelus watches are a pinnacle of cutting-edge watchmaking that masterfully blends the timeless elegance of classic haute horologerie with the finest ultra-modern technologies and innovations. Designed, produced, finished, and assembled in La Chaux-de-Fonds, the heart of Swiss watchmaking, Angelus watches boast a rich history of over 125 years. This legacy cements the brand's reputation for its globally hailed in-house movements, time-honoured techniques, and luxury designs, all infused with a touch of modernity that keeps the brand at the forefront of the industry.
