Angelus Alarm (Gong Type) circa 1920s

“A rare find for horology enthusiasts: an authentic Angelus ‘Alarm Gong’ pocket watch from the early-to-mid 20th century. This Swiss-made timepiece features a pristine white enamel dial with bold Arabic numerals and elegant Breguet-style hands. Beyond standard timekeeping, it boasts a sophisticated mechanical alarm system with a dedicated sub-dial at 12 o’clock and a small seconds register at 6 o’clock. The ‘Gong’ designation indicates a premium internal chime mechanism that strikes a resonant metal wire, offering a clearer, more musical tone than standard vibrating alarms.”
