The pusher at 2 o’clock allows the alarm hand to be set. The four hands are all in good original condition. The caliber 120 manual wind movement was groundbreaking when it was first released in 1947. The alarm function was made possible by the movement utilizing two barrels – one for the movement and one for the alarm. You wind the winding crown clockwise to wind the alarm and anti-clockwise to wind the movement. It was the first wristwatch-housed alarm and the sound was reminiscent of the chirping of crickets…hence the name! \u003cbr\u003eThe Cricket has a nickname (like all iconic watches) – The Presidents’ Watch’. In 1953 Vulcain gifted President Harry Truman with a cricket and the tradition has continued with every American President since. The watch has been fully serviced by our watchmaker. \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eSpecifications:\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e- Vulcain Cricket\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e- Serial 481xxx dates to 1950s\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e- 36mm rose gold case\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e- Beautiful two-tone dial with blue outer track \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e- Cal 120 manual wind movement\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e- Comes on a Bulang and Sons strap\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e- Fully serviced by our watchmaker\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e- One-year mechanical warranty\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e- Includes a handmade leather watch pouch\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e- Free worldwide Fedex Priority shipping\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e","brand":"Vulcain Cricket","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32149937717306,"sku":"W-928","price":4800.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0106\/7450\/3738\/products\/W-928-Vulcain-Cricket-wrist-watch-with-alarm-function_01.jpg?v=1605025335"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.bulangandsons.net\/collections\/vulcain-cricket.oembed","provider":"Bulang and Sons Int.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
