Calling all vintage Angelus experts...
Hello all,
Since I was asked to judge last week's WristScan and chose an Angelus U40 as my winner, I've done a little research on the brand. You need to know, also, that I'm a fan of so-called "Dr.s watches." SO. Imagine my surprise in turning up this this model from 1960 (photo from the Angelus website, History section).
So much to admire: monopusher—seriously devoted to its specific task; respiration scale as well as pulse; pulse scale based on 10—rather than 15 or 30—beats (what Dr. is going to count heartbeats for a full 30 seconds in an emergency?), AND this scale magnified! Whoa… I'd never seen anything like it. Have any of you? Does some lucky Purist actually own one?
It will require some add'l digging to find out how many were made. But I think this is the coolest Dr.s watch I've ever seen. A true tool watch.
Thanks in advance for your answers! FH

I cannot tell you about the authenticity, but if all correct jump on it. Here are some other Medical Watches for your interest.
My favorite, the UG Medico Compax. A Vernal ( Credit picture: Horare ) I too am on the hunt for one of those, preferrably UG or Angelus. ...
Ah, the UG is a beauty! I should have known you'd be all over this, amanico. Thank you. And I see that the Vernal has the same dial layout as the Angelus.
I love the single-mindedness of these watches—for one purpose and one purpose only. Terrific!
Thank you for sharing this example.
The earliest pulsometer that I've studied was a Chronometro Gondolo from around 1905. The name on the dial is of Dr. Adauto Junqueira Botelho (1895-1963). He was born to a politically influential family from Minas Gerais, and became one of Brazil's most s...
Very cool watches!
I'd take any of the three pictured watches IN A HEARTBEAT 🤣🤣🤣. Pun most definitely intended! M4
