The Angelus Chime

Make Your Home a Church

An ancient sound for the domestic church.

For centuries, church bells called the faithful to pause and pray the Angelus at morning, noon, and evening. That sacred tradition faded when the bells went silent. We're bringing them back — beginning in the home.

A Sacred Interruption

A family kneeling in prayer before the Angelus Chime

Imagine it: 12 PM. The household is busy. Then — bells.

Real bells, recorded from the bell tower of a seven-hundred-year-old European cathedral, filling your kitchen, your living room, your hallway. The family gathers and prays the ancient prayer of the Angelus — meditating on the sacred mystery of the Incarnation and our Blessed Mother's humble fiat.

"The Angelus Chime fills your home with an ancient sound that connects your family to centuries of faithful Christians."

At 6 AM, they ring as the day begins. At noon, as the day reaches its peak. And at 6 PM, as the day winds down. Three sacred pauses. An ancient rhythm of prayer restored.

The First of Its Kind

Authentic

Eight real church bell recordings from cathedrals, shrines, and abbeys around the world — warm, resonant, and true to life. Played through a premium speaker tuned for bell recordings. So true to life you'd think the parish was just down the road.

Beautiful

Gothic-inspired design in dark bronze with aged gold accents. A rose window doubles as an acoustic grille. Weighted base for stability. This belongs alongside the crucifix, the holy water font, and the sacred art already in your home — a sacred object, not a gadget.

Simple

No app. No WiFi. No Bluetooth. No accounts. No updates. Set the time, choose your bell, done. Three switches control which hours ring and at what volume. A mute button on the side for when silence is needed. Every detail designed with intention.

In Your Home

In the kitchen, the living room, the office or on the mantel. Wherever home life happens — that's where the bells ring.

An Idea That Never Should Have Died

For centuries, church bells called Christians to pause three times a day — morning, noon, and evening — to pray the Angelus, a meditation on the Incarnation. In village squares and open fields, across Europe and beyond, entire villages stopped. Workers set down their tools. Families turned their hearts to God.

That tradition has faded. Most parishes no longer ring bells at the Angelus hours. Many have no bells at all.

The last time anyone built a dedicated Angelus bell for the home was 1873 — a mechanical clock that served faithfully for generations. The company is long gone, but the sacred idea never should have died with it.

The desire is not new. The solution is.

"As a Catholic husband and father, I wanted something to remind our family to pray the Angelus — something beyond a phone alert. Something as beautiful and timeless as the prayer itself."

Frequently Asked Questions

What exactly is a reservation?

A $29 reservation secures your place in the first production run. Your $29 is applied as a deposit toward the final purchase price — you simply pay the balance when your Chime is ready to ship. Reservation holders receive exclusive early-bird pricing below the $149 estimated retail price. Fully refundable at any time before shipment, no questions asked.

Are the product images real?

The images on this page are AI-generated concept renders that represent our design vision. We are committed to producing a device that faithfully matches this aesthetic — if the final product doesn't meet the standard these images set, we simply won't ship. Your reservation is fully refundable at any time.

Can I cancel my reservation?

Yes — 100% refundable at any time before shipment, no questions asked. Simply email hello@angelusbellcompany.com and we'll process your refund promptly.

What is it made of?

The enclosure is made from a high-quality polymer — essentially a very durable, heavyweight plastic — capable of capturing fine gothic detail with a premium feel. We have aspirations to offer future editions in even more premium materials.

Does it need WiFi or an app?

No. The Angelus Chime is fully standalone. No WiFi, no Bluetooth, no app, no accounts, no updates. Set the time, choose your bell, and forget it. It runs on 4 AA batteries that last 12+ months.

What bells are included?

Eight authentic church bell recordings from cathedrals, shrines, churches, and abbeys around the world. Each recording is 1–4 minutes long — rich, resonant, and true to life. Select your preferred bell via a rear-panel switch.

How loud is it?

The Angelus Chime is designed to fill a living room with warm, resonant bell tones. Volume is adjustable via a rear-panel control — from quiet enough for a bedroom to full enough for an open floor plan. A mute button on the side silences it instantly for when the house needs quiet.

How do I set the time?

Simple controls on the rear panel. Set the current time with a dial, toggle which hours ring (6 AM, 12 PM, 6 PM) with three switches, and adjust volume. That's it. No instruction manual needed.

What is early-bird pricing?

Reservation holders receive exclusive pricing below the $149 estimated retail price. Your $29 deposit is applied toward the final purchase price — you only pay the balance when your Chime is ready to ship.

When does it ship?

Production begins Summer 2026, with delivery expected in Fall 2026. You'll receive email updates on production progress and a shipping notification with tracking when your Chime is on its way. Reservations are fully refundable at any time before shipment.
