Vulcain has been around in one form or another since the mid-1800s. A few ownership changes, some rocky years, a shutdown, and two eventual revivals make up the long and rocky road that is the Vulcain brand. If you?ve heard of the brand before, it?s most likely that the Cricket is the watch you?re familiar with. The Cricket gets the most attention, being worn on the wrists of American Presidents and having a unique alarm complication that made it stand out from the pack. While the Cricket is great, there?s another watch that doesn?t get quite as much attention, but definitely deserves it, and that?s the Chronograph 1970?s. This new release from Vulcain is a true-to-form recreation of a watch they released back in the 1970s, right down to the spot-on vintage proportions. Let?s dig in and take a closer look at this charming 38mm chronograph from Vulcain.
