Vulcain & Studio SA was founded in 1858 in La Chaux de Fonds. Vulcain introduced the first mass-produced alarm wristwatch in 1947, called “Cricket”, and remain very popular to this day. The name is attributed to the perceptible sound of the eponymous insect. In 1958 was launched the “Golden Voice”, first alarm wristwatch for ladies. Also the name has a reason behind it, the gold alarm membrane that makes a particularly beautiful sound. Another accomplishment by owner Robert Ditisheim’s team was in 1961 when it launched the first waterproof alarm watch called the “Nautical”. Today, the owner of the company is PMH SA. In 2005, it launched the “Imperial Gong” tourbillon where the hammer gently strikes a chime spring. Technical detailsManual wind movement with caliber 120, 17 jewel and 18,000 A/h.
