There are a plethora of modern shoe-mount meters out there, but they're generally designed for view- or range-finder 35mm still cameras (Leica, etc) and too wide to fit on a Bolex.
Not exactly "modern," but how about the 60-year-old Gossen-built purpose-made Bolex meter? It sits in the cold shoe and is calibrated for the reflex light loss. I still use one (accurate according to my fancy digital meter) and it works as well as "sunny 16" when I'm in a hurry.
