The Cricket is Vulcain’s hand-wound mechanical watch with an actual mechanical alarm — a striking mechanism, not a vibration — and it earned the nickname “President’s Watch” after Truman and a long line of U.S. presidents wore one. This edition rebuilds the 39mm case and the movement’s structural components in Grade 5 titanium, including the mainplate and bridges, limited to about 100 pieces starting near $7,670. Heritage worth noting, not an endorsement.
