Brand to Watch: Angelus Returns
Baselworld is the peak time of year for the launch of new watches. But every so often it also serves as the coming-out party for a new brand that's entering the market. Such is the case for Angelus, a name with serious watchmaking history. Angelus was a Swiss brand of some repute until (like many of its compatriots) it was wiped out by the quartz revolution in the 1970s. Now it's making a return under notable new management.
