Vulcain Cricket 17 Jewels "Cricket"

Description: Vulcain Cricket 17 Jewels "Cricket" The Vulcain Cricket is a historically significant watch, widely regarded as one of the earliest wristwatches to feature an alarm function, setting a new standard for mechanical innovation in the 1940s. Vulcain introduced the Cricket in 1947, and it quickly became famous for its loud and clear alarm, which was powered by a separate barrel inside the movement. This model was particularly popular among politicians and even earned the nickname “The President’s Watch,” as several U.S. presidents, including Harry Truman and Lyndon Johnson, were known to wear and appreciate the Vulcain Cricket. Its unique chiming function and reliability made it a favorite among travelers, professionals, and adventurers alike. Aesthetically, this Vulcain Cricket embodies vintage charm with its 34mm gold-plated case that radiates a warm, classic appeal. The dial, with its subtle patina, enhances its vintage look, displaying a combination of Arabic numerals at 12, 3, 6, and 9 o’clock, along with elegant applied markers. The dauphine hands provide a refined touch, and the centrally mounted alarm hand adds to the watch’s functionality without compromising on style. The two-crown configuration is typical for Cricket models, with one crown setting the time and winding the movement, while the other operates the alarm. Paired with a brown leather strap, this Vulcain Cricket is not only a mechanical marvel but also a piece of horological history that continues to capture the hearts of collectors.
