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 storied medical doctors (in electrology, paediatrics, psychiatry, radiology).
The mighty Longines made something of a name for itself in this type of watch, as did Omega in the 1930s. Omega's 2010 Museum edition pulsometer is based on about three of the watches it produced back then and is very nice. So is the one produced by Audemars Piquet under its Jules Audemars line. It's all about those Breguet numerals. Franck Muller has delivered a chronograph with a pulsometer on the case back. That's a handsome watch and another that's tempted me.
If you don't mind, I'll use your investigation into Angelus to reveal my own. Having spent some months idly going over its work, I came across this glorious table clock "weather station" from 1960. From measuring the pulse of a person to measuring the pulse of the planet, as it were.
I'm taken by its meteorological complications, and also by its incorporation of the constellations of the Zodiac. I post it below as a digression, but one I hope you'll enjoy.

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 thi...
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!
