What is vulcain?

Vulcain is a Swiss luxury watchmaking company specializing in producing mechanical watches, particularly high-end sports and dress watches. The brand was founded in 1858 in Le Locle, Switzerland, by the Ditisheim brothers. Vulcain is known for producing the first wristwatch with an alarm complication in 1947, called the Vulcain Cricket, which quickly became a sensation among prominent people and even politicians, including US Presidents Harry S. Truman and Lyndon B. Johnson. Today, Vulcain watches are still highly sought after for their classic design, high-quality movements, and technical innovations. The brand's watches are sold worldwide, with a strong presence in Europe, Asia, and the United States.
