The Instrument de Mesures is a monopusher chronograph from Angelus that integrates a telemeter, pulsometer, and tachymeter within a single timepiece. Housed in a 39mm stainless steel case, the watch continues Angelus' tradition of instrument-focused chronographs while introducing a layered dial architecture designed to keep multiple scales legible. A box-shaped sapphire crystal, twisted lugs, and vintage-inspired syringe hands contribute to the watch’s classic appearance, while the monopusher chronograph is operated through a single button integrated into the crown.
To accommodate the three measurement systems, Angelus developed a multi-level dial featuring a domed center, an angled intermediate section, and a raised outer ring. The telemeter occupies the outer perimeter, the pulsometer is positioned on the sloped middle section, and a spiral tachymeter capable of measuring speeds from 20 to 500 km/h sits at the center.
