The Vulcain Cricket is famously known as the "President's Watch," worn by several American presidents.
In 1947, Vulcain invented the first wristwatch equipped with a genuinely operational alarm function. This innovation was to earn the brand its reputation with American presidents from Harry S. Truman onwards. Since then, each American president and other eminent figures around the world have owned a Vulcain President watch like this innovative and newest 50s President Cricket Automatic — a tradition that has been perpetuated right through to the current President of the United States.
When you first think of the President's watch, you probably envision a gold Rolex, right? Well, what if we told you an exponentially lesser-known watch from an equally under-the-radar brand was another model that has been worn by nearly every president since Harry S. Truman? That "other" piece is the Vulcain Cricket. Initially introduced in 1947, the Cricket was one of the very first wristwatches to offer a mechanical alarm, making it extra useful for people who can't afford to sleep in. Or just those of us who like weird and/or unique watch functions. This 1950s Vulcain Cricket ref. 303000 is a great example of the quintessential Cricket watch, with its beautifully crafted and intricate black dial, 33mm case size and silver printed type. It would be a fun, unique addition to anyone's collection – regardless of whether or not you have presidential aspirations.

18k Vulcain Alarm Watch Circa 1950's From The Inventors of The Alarm Complication for Wristwatches. While Your Friends and Enemies Wake to an Annoying Bleep or Bloop You Wake to the "Golden Voice" of Vulcain The Vulcain watch manufacturer was founded in 1858 and is the inventor of the alarm complication for wristwatches. This innovation made the Vulcain watches popular with American presidents starting with Harry S. Truman, earning the brand its reputation as “The Watch for Presidents”. A century and a half of watchmaking passion, as well as 150 years of creation, innovation and expertise patiently acquired and now devoted to defending the demanding values of Haute Horlogerie. Founded in 1858, the workshop of the Ditisheim brothers – which was to give rise to the Vulcain brand – immediately earned itself an enviable reputation through its complication watches, which received awards at several World Fairs. Almost a century later, Vulcain launched the first ever mechanical alarm movement, which soon achieved worldwide fame. The legendary Cricket calibre took flight before finding its place in the history books as “The Presidents’ Watch”. American heads of state Dwight Eisenhower, Harry Trumann, Richard Nixon and Lyndon Johnson all wore a Vulcain on their wrist, a fact that earned the brand its prestigious reputation. But the technical qualities of Vulcain watches also appealed to explorers and adventurers. From the 1950s onwards, the brand in Le Locle was to partner famous mountaineering and maritime expeditions.
