Founded 1891 in Le Locle by Stolz Freres S.A., best known for their chronographs, most using in-house movements, such as caliber 217 used in the famous "Chronodato" introduced in 1942. The Chronodato rapidly became the company's top selling timepiece and was made into the 1950s.

Other notable vintage Angelus pieces include the Datalarm (1956) was the first wristwatch ever featuring both alarm and date function, while the cult timepiece the Tinkler (1958) was both the first automatic repeater wristwatch and also the first fully waterproof repeater wristwatch.

The original Angelus closed its doors around 1980, falling victim - as with many other smaller Swiss brands - to the quartz revolution.

Around 2011, the Angelus nameplate was revived mechanical movement specialist Manufacture La Joux-Perret SA in La Chaux-de-Fonds and its CEO Frederic Wenger and Head of Innovation Dr. Sebastien Chaulmontet.
