Angelus Watch & Co.

Rensie

A very attractive and rare vintage pilot's chronograph with 45 min. counter, tachy and telemeter scale and Rensie signature on the dial

This pilot's chronograph is despite its age in excellent condition with sharp edges and a beautiful glossy black dial with golden markings and golden luminous hands, which have acquired a fine patina. The chronograph movement is equally well preserved and starts instantly.

Rensie (anadrome for Eisner - Paul V. Eisner & Co.) was an American watch importer and wholesaler of Swiss watches, but also manufactured its own. Rensie bought movements from Alpina and Angelus and was located at 580 Fifth Avenue in New York. The Rensie brand was registered on 15 January 1943.
