The Angelus Instrument de Vitesse from the La Fabrique collection, shown here in Noir Opalin, transports you back to the golden age of timed races, embodying the essence of a vintage GT car's dashboard. This mono-pusher chronograph, equipped with a single center seconds hand capable of timing up to one minute, marries sleek retro sports aesthetics with watchmaking precision. Designed for aficionados of horological history and culture, it features a 39-mm steel case and a 4.20 mm manually wound Manufacture calibre, maintaining a profile under 10 mm. Also available in Blanc Ivoire, the Instrument de Vitesse is offered in two exclusive limited series of just 25 pieces each, making it a prized addition for collectors.

At first glance, the Instrument de Vitesse might not strike one as a traditional chronograph. Its design features three central hands, resembling a typical three-hand watch, yet the tachymeter scale encircling the dial hints at its true purpose. This timepiece represents the purest form of a chronograph, specifically crafted for measuring short durations and calculating average speeds over a span of up to 60 seconds. The cleverly designed crown doubles as a single push-piece, activating the slender center seconds hand, thereby revealing the chronograph's sophisticated functionality.
