Description from the seller

Vulcain Cricket Alarm – steel case with alarm function - 1960s

An iconic wristwatch from the Swiss brand Vulcain, model Cricket, known for its mechanical alarm feature. This model gained international fame because it was worn for years by American presidents, earning it the nickname “The President’s Watch.”

The watch features a steel case and a bright silver-colored dial, equipped with black indices that ensure excellent legibility and contrast. The combination of functionality and elegance makes the Cricket a remarkable piece in watchmaking: a mechanical movement that not only tells the time but can also produce a audible alarm – a technical feat for its time.

The watch is worn on a black leather strap and is fitted with a steel butterfly clasp, providing comfort and a polished look on the wrist. With its technical background and historical significance, this is a watch that is very attractive both as a daily wear piece and as a collector’s item.
