The Three Kings stand arm in arm turning their wheels of time. Bound in unison, central in purpose, each King spins his wheel of 4 hours to prepare: the running of the featured hour past the minute scale. Now on your wrist - in one or more of the 6 dial colors for you to choose from.

Ancient symbolism of shared efforts in perpetual service brought us to aptly name our watch the Three Kings. Bearing gifts as wise men or as the oldest hotel of Europe in continuous service (“Drei Konig” in Switzerland), there is a certainty of mission in peace if not perfection when invoking “Three Kings.” The Angles Three Kings. A luxury watch with three clear sapphire mini-dials accurately presenting time.

The Three Kings is our latest creation to live up to these ambitions: triple rotating hour minidials are in-house designed and constructed as a wandering hours module while using a Miyota 90S5 as the base movement. Only the right-most hours dial presents the current time with a tip pointing to the minutes. As that dial spins clockwise past the minute scale, the dial behind it will cue up the correct number for the next hour. These constantly rotating hours dials are surprisingly easy to read yet will captivate those who have never seen such a watch.


The Three Kings comes in six colorways - Crimson, Emerald, Night Sky, Atlantic, Pecan, and Midnight

I like the complication, but I think reading the time would be a little too complicated for me.

Good eye!

Hopefully someone at Angles QC catches that before the production run.
