VULCAIN Cricket President 36 mm - Blue

Limited Reissue with History

Exclusivity at first glance: The Vulcain Cricket appears in a strictly limited edition of only 25 pieces. With its 36 mm case made of polished 316L stainless steel and a blue dial with applied numerals, it embodies classic elegance in a compact form. The satin-finished bezel adds visual depth and gives the design a subtle refinement.

Mechanics with Character

Inside works the in-house caliber V10, a mechanical hand-wound movement with 25 jewels and a total of 165 components. The two mainspring barrels ensure a power reserve of 52 hours, while the alarm function sounds powerfully for about 20 seconds – not a quiet chime, but a distinctive signal that truly lives up to its name "Cricket".

The Birth of the Cricket

In 1947, Vulcain made its mark: The first wristwatch with a mechanical alarm was born. The Cricket was not only technically groundbreaking but quickly became a symbol of style and reliability. Its popularity reached the White House – worn by US presidents like Truman, Eisenhower, or Johnson, it became the "President's Watch" – a title that resonates to this day.

Style Beyond Conventions

The new Cricket embodies a form of style that combines zeitgeist and tradition. It fits under a jacket as well as with a fine blouse, accompanies trench coats as well as wool coats – gender-neutral and versatile. Especially the modern color variants like pistachio green give the historical model a fresh, fashionable touch that also delights retro lovers.

The Fire of Tradition

The brand name "Vulcain" goes back to the Roman god of fire and metalworking – a symbol of the creative power with which the brand has forged innovations since 1858. In Le Locle, in the heart of Swiss watchmaking, timepieces with a true soul are created. The Cricket is an expression of this long master tradition that never goes out of style.

Where Craftsmanship Meets Attitude

For over 150 years, the Vulcain manufacture has stood for handcrafted precision and iconic design. The Cricket 36 mm is not a loud statement – it is a subtle sign of style consciousness and personality. For people who wear true values, not trends.
