The history of this Vulcain 50s President's WatchThe House of Vulcain forged its worldwide reputation in 1947 with the launch of the Cricket calibre. This revolutionary movement was the first to incorporate a mechanical alarm powerful enough to wake its wearer. Dubbed the watch of American presidents since Harry Truman, it accompanied Lyndon B. Johnson, who used the shrill sound of its alarm to cut short diplomatic meetings. This Vulcain 50s President's Watch Cricket 1947 model bearing the reference 110251A56.BAL114 pays direct tribute to this heritage. This commemorative edition revives the aesthetic codes of the era while adapting its proportions to contemporary standards.Case, calibre and strap of this 50s President's WatchThe round stainless steel case measures 42 mm in diameter and is 12 mm thick. This specific dimension houses the double resonance chamber essential for amplifying the sound of the alarm. The varnished white dial is adorned with arrow markers and applied Arabic numerals in pink gold. Dauphine hands run across the clear dial, complemented by a central blue arrow hand dedicated to setting the alarm. A date window is discreetly integrated at the bottom of the dial. The watch houses a hand-wound V-11 calibre offering 42 hours of power reserve and oscillating at 18,000 vibrations per hour. The whole is adorned with a brown alligator leather strap fastened by a steel pin buckle.Why this Vulcain watchThe appeal of this piece lies in its absolute rarity.
