Innovative brand, shares little of the Angelus DNA

The modern watches shine on their own merit, not the old Angelus DNA. It's more of an oddity than a tragedy. What went wrong? People who love the vintage Angelus aesthetic will probably prefer to buy vintage Angelus. There are too many brands killing it w...

Comparing the apples and oranges of the vintage and modern Angelus watches shown here

 
 By: reintitan : June 10th, 2019-18:51
opens up a larger question in general. What happened to today's watch designers? The elegant, proportional, timeless designs of the vintage models couldn't be further from what you see in the modern examples. And it's not just Angelus. Take other brands l... 

Correct, however that is part of my point
