About Vulcain

The Vulcain watch factory was founded in 1858. Because of the invention of the first Cricket watch with an alarm function, it has been loved by all US presidents since Harry S. Truman, and is called the "Presidential Watch".

Almost a century later, Vulcain launched the first-ever mechanical alarm movement, which soon achieved worldwide fame. The legendary Cricket caliber took flight before finding its place in the history books as “The Presidents’ Watch”. American heads of state Dwight Eisenhower, Harry Trumann, Richard Nixon, and Lyndon Johnson all wore a Vulcain on their wrist, a fact that earned the brand its prestigious reputation. But the technical qualities of Vulcain watches also appealed to explorers and adventurers.
