Beautiful, but…
Unfortunately the handset doesn’t really match as the minute and the hour hands are too long. The minute hand protrudes in the tachymeter scale which doesn’t make sense to me. Once noticed I cannot unsee it anymore. The movement is wonderful however. If my memory serves me well, it was also used by Girard-Perregaux in one of their 1966 chronographs.
something caught my eye
if my banker was a little more understanding, I would already be the plane. I love this one. Similar movement as the Cartier Tortue monopoussoir ...
movement a little small for the case ...
... but otherwise, apart from the price, I like it.
at least no subdial gives that away ;-)
but the "instrument de vitesse" is a little kitsch on the dial. Useless
Right.
Same problem on the Massena Doctors watch version, but it was worse there because of the subdial. This one gets away with it until you turn it over, like so many center seconds time only watches.
VERY intriguing
I might have to get in touch with my local Angelus dealer (and yes I actually DO have a local Angelus dealer!).
My Eight-Day Angelus
It could use a bit of polish. Sorry, no movement photo. Cazalea ...
You wanted to say "bankster" ...
Bankster was used quite often actually: In the aftermath of the big depression in a round 1923 and in the aftermath of the U.S. mortgage colaps from 2008, that was sold to people with a more "acceptable" name of "credit crunge".

I would pair that lovely movement with a 36mm case
As befits it But I have to admit the dial is intriguing - love the depth ...
