Vulcain Cricket, 1960s alarm wristwatch
A mid-1960s Vulcain Cricket, presented here as the "President's Watch," exemplifies classic small-case proportions and period styling in a gold-plated shell. Its construction is defined by the original dial, acrylic crystal and the Cricket’s distinctive resonant double case-back system designed to amplify the mechanical alarm. At the heart sits the manual-wind Caliber 120,5 with 17 jewels, a movement celebrated for its robust alarm mechanism and dependable engineering. For the modern collector, this piece offers tangible mechanical personality and historical context, suited to both careful wear and display.
