1958 ANGELUS Datographe with a stainless steel cushion case, an early automatic caliber from A. Schild with date, that can be set by setting time backwards & forward, cal. 1572. The model appeared in Angelus catalogue of the 50s, being called "Rapier thin automatic calendar". The model with exact design of case and dial, made with Technos signature, and very similar model signed by Heuer. A pretty cool sporty casual watch, quite rare with a two tone patina dial, with interesting indexes, and Dauphine hands.

... and next to it, a neo vintage camera, or a vintage digital one, the mini mighty FUJI x10
