Angelus was founded in 1891 by brothers Albert and Gustav Stolz in Le Locle, Switzerland. The brand forged a reputation for exceptional chronograph and multi-complication wristwatches. Angelus created the world's first series chronograph with calendar (Chronodate, 1942) and the first automatic repeater wristwatch (Tinkler, 1958). The brand supplied movements to Panerai for the Italian Navy. After a period of dormancy, it was revived in 2015 under Manufacture La Joux-Perret ownership.
