1947 The President's Watch

Since its 1858 inception, Vulcain, a family-owned enterprise, has been synonymous with intricate complications. Founded by the Ditisheim brothers, skilled horologists, the brand quickly garnered acclaim in the Neuchâtel mountains – the heart of Swiss watchmaking precision – with its award-winning minute repeaters, grande and petite sonneries, and perpetual calendars. 

Vulcan (or Hephaestus in Greek mythology) is a god of Roman mythology. He is the deity of fire, volcanoes and blacksmiths. There's no question of calming the fire that drives the new departure of this age-old brand. On the contrary, tomorrow is being forged on the burning embers of a rich past. 

The year 1947 marked a pivotal moment for Vulcain with the launch of the world's first alarm wristwatch featuring a striking mechanism: the Cricket. The sound would become a Vulcain signature. It was not just audible – it was powerful enough to reliably wake its wearer (to the sound of a very vigorous and determined cricket). A world first, the Vulcain Cricket soon became very fashionable, earning the moniker "The Presidents' Watch" as President Harry S. Truman and his successors— Eisenhower, Nixon, and Johnson—also found it quite useful.
