Vulcain is a legendary Swiss watch brand, known for its famous "Cricket", the world's first functional mechanical alarm watch. The history of Vulcain is characterized by a constant commitment to innovation, style and quality and which has rebounded in recent years under the leadership of Guillaume Laidet and Remi Chabrat.
<h2 dir="ltr">What is the history of the Vulcain brand?</h2>
Founded in 1858 by the Ditisheim brothers in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland, Vulcain began as a small company specializing in the production of high-precision pocket watches. It wasn't until 1947 that the brand burst onto the international watch scene with the launch of the Cricket watch, a technical feat that quickly gained popularity.
The Vulcain Cricket, thanks to its unique alarm function, has earned the nickname "Presidents' Watch". It has been worn by many American presidents, including Harry Truman, Dwight Eisenhower, Richard Nixon and Lyndon Johnson, cementing the brand's international reputation. Starting in the 1950s, Vulcain continued to innovate by producing diving watches and launching the Vulcain Nautical movement, a diving watch equipped with an alarm function and decompression indicator for divers.
Despite a period of turmoil during the 1970s and 1980s, when the Swiss watch industry was shaken by the quartz revolution, Vulcain managed to overcome these challenges and recover. Today, the brand is lauded for its blend of classic design and modern technology, while continuing to produce high-quality mechanical watches.
