The Vulcain brand has somehow remained an insider's-only brand despite its well-respected and celebrated nature within the world of horology. Of course, most people associate Vulcain as being one of the very first producers of the alarm watch, the Cricket, which also happens to be the watch worn by almost every President since Truman. However, Vulcain created a large variety of timepieces ranging from diving watches to chronographs, all of which with an aesthetic that is unique to the brand and feature high levels of craftsmanship.
