Since its founding in 1858, the family-owned company Vulcain has been synonymous with complex complications. Founded by the Ditisheim brothers, experienced watchmakers, the brand quickly gained recognition in the Neuchâtel mountains – the heart of Swiss watchmaking precision – for its award-winning minute repeaters, grande and petite sonneries, and perpetual calendars.
The year 1947 marked a pivotal moment for Vulcain with the launch of the world's first wristwatch with an alarm and a striking mechanism: the Cricket, which became a signature of the Vulcain brand. With the sound of a very energetic and determined cricket, you no longer need to worry about oversleeping. A world first, the Vulcain Cricket soon became very fashionable and earned the nickname “President's Watch”, as President Harry S. Truman and his successors – Eisenhower, Nixon and Johnson – also found it quite useful.
The in-house Vulcain V10 movement operates at a frequency of 18,000 vibrations per hour, with hand winding and a 52-hour power reserve. The alarm lasts approximately 20 seconds.
The Vulcain Cricket President is a limited edition of 100 pieces.
