Why We Love It

This two register beauty has so many desirable elements to it, we're barely know where to begin!

From its glossy gilt dial, to its in-house manufactured column wheel chronograph movement - on paper it sounds like a much more expensive timepiece. Turning the watch over reveals the "L.E." engraving - confirming that this watch was issued to the Hungarian Airforce.

Starting in the late 1940s, Angelus began producing chronographs for the Hungarian Air Force. Hungary had been banned from having a military air force by the Treaty of Trianon in 1920. So the Royal Hungarian Air Force (Magyar Királyi Honvéd Légierő or Légi Erő) started covertly as civilian flying clubs. But by the 1930s the Légi Erő was officially established and recognized. As World War II began and Hungary's neighbors to the north--Poland and Czechoslovakia--fell, the L.E. added their airplanes to their air force, proving worthy foes to the encroaching Soviet forces in the East.

Whether its the beauty of the dial, the brilliance of the movement, or the genuine military heritage, there are many aspects to this timepiece to connect to and love.
