The 15-piece limited edition yellow gold Angelus Tinkler 1958 Quarter Repeater: A Charming Reprise of Mid-Century Sophistication

Rekindling the embers of a bygone era, Swiss watch manufacturer Angelus has breathed new life into a revered mid-century timepiece. At Watches & Wonders 2026, Angelus unveiled the Tinkler 1958 Quarter Repeater — a re-edition that mirrors its predecessor’s exceptional build and groundbreaking functionality. Originally released as a pioneering automatic, waterproof quarter repeater wristwatch, the Tinkler swiftly carved out an enviable niche of its own.

The reissued Tinkler 1958 Gold captures the grandeur of its precursor — it’s a three-hander classic gold wristwatch accentuated by elaborate hour markers. Sheltered by a 38mm yellow gold case, its polished finishes resonate with the 1950s aesthetic. Containing the refined complication, the case’s 12mm thickness hovers above the typical measurements of a dress watch. Further, enhancing the look is the novel rectangular trigger replacing the original’s pump-style pusher.

By reproducing the sound vibrations, the tightly sealed screw-down caseback receives sounds from the gongs, ensuring the watch’s autdibility is optimal. The triggering mechanism of the quarter repeater signals the hours with a single low-pitched strike on the first gong, followed by a quick switch to alternating notes across both gongs for elapsed 15-minute intervals.

This luxurious yellow gold re-edition is limited to only 15 pieces, embodying a unique synergy of vintage elegance, rich heritage, and enriched sophistication. Bound by innovative design, impressive functionality, and a palpable nod to a glorious past, the Angelus Tinkler 1958 Quarter Repeater stands as a compelling testament to horological triumph.
