Horological Meandering

Launched in 2023 with the Chronographe Médical x Massena LAB , the Angelus La Fabrique collection comprises two other families of monopusher chronographs : Instrument de vitesse (4 models launched in 2024) Chronographe Télémètre (3 models launched in 2025...  

Télémètre family: they are too close to the center for me. My favorite would be the Grey Silverstone Instrument de Vitesse. But I dislike the logo: they should have removed the frame, imo. Best, Emmanuel

And I like the THA based movement. The only somewhat unfortunate decision from my side is that the case size is effectively too large for the movement. It is a bit masked by the telemetry scale but overall the movement looks more harmoniously sized in a 3...

Gorgeous indeed 👍🏻

On the 5070, the counters actually seem to touch the railroad track, and do not touch the centre, providing some "air" between them and the center arbor. Here it's exactly the opposite, and I too find myself in the camp of feeling that the Angelus counter... 

is very dependent upon one’s personal expectations and taste. Centered counters just give the dial a different look and as long as one likes it it’s just fine. Best, Emmanuel

I picked up the Massena version and love it. ...

Have a great week ahead.

My favourite are the 3 Chronographe Telemetre as they look like they are vintage watches and the dials are just so beautiful and there is just something very special about monopusher chronographs. Marc

both these Télémètre and monopusher chronographs in general. Best, Emmanuel

Grey for me, Silverstone!
