Angelus U41 Orange: a (relatively) Affordable (for a tourbillon) Tourbillon Sports Watch

The Angelus U41 Orange has an aesthetic that is more Richard Mille than Das Boot. At a launch price of $34,100, the notion of a tourbillon that can be enjoyed without care is compelling, and Angelus leans into it.

Ulysse Nardin Marine Tourbillon

The Enticing Qualities Of “Entry-Level” Tourbillons – Reprise

If there is one complicated element that has been in a whirlwind (pun intended) of developments, it has been the tourbillon. And while tourbillons are still fairly expensive, you don’t have to spend $100,000 anymore, as many brands now have great offerings for even a third of that amount.

Appreciating Skeleton Watches With Patek Philippe, Graff, Angelus, Armin Strom And Piaget

From a technical point of view, skeletonizing makes no sense: watchmakers go to great length to create a stable and robust movement, only to have others saw away pieces of its components. Skeletonizing is one of those instances when form takes over from function, bringing it even closer to being art.

U20 Ultra-Skeleton Tourbillon by Angelus

It’s Not What You Think: Angelus U20 Ultra-Skeleton Tourbillon

And what else?
