Angelus has re-emerged in full force since their 2015 revival. The fashion forward, masterfully engineered timepieces will impress any Swiss watch fan; their designs are both street-smart and sophisticated.

To celebrate Baselworld 2017, Angelus has added to its Urban Collection with a pair of new watches, the U21 Tourbillon and the U22 Tourbillon.

Both models share some similarities, including a 42mm case that is 10.3mm thick with a sapphire crystal caseback.

The Angelus U21 boasts a case made out of NPT carbon fiber and 18-karat red gold. The skeletonized bridges and a range of other elements are also made from 18k red gold, to augment the look. The flying tourbillon is on full display through double sapphire crystals.

The Angelus U22 Tourbillon is even lighter. Weighing in at just 54 grams, the U22 is crafted from carbon fiber and titanium and features red accents, including the use of red Super-LumiNova on the hands of the timepiece.

Powering both models is the Angelus A-250 caliber. It beats at 3Hz and boasts a 90-hour power reserve when it is fully wound.

The U21 Tourbillon and U22 Tourbillon are both outfitted with black alligator leather straps, and each is limited to 18 examples.

The U21 is priced at $52,200; the U22 at $37,995.
