Press release
A specialist of alarm calibres, including its legendary “Cricket” model acclaimed by horological connoisseurs, Vulcain is also distinguished by its fabulous history in the art of time measurement. To celebrate this unique heritage, the Manufacture is complementing its historical collection with the 50s Presidents' Watch Classic model. Offering a subtle blend of elegance, fi nesse and sophisticated watchmaking technique, this newcomer also pays tribute to the style of the 1950s, while interpreting it in a contemporary manner.
Aesthetically speaking, the 50s Presidents' Classic features a remarkable sunray dial in charcoal grey, silver-toned or blue versions. Graced with diamond- polished hour-markers, it displays 3, 9 and 12 o'clock numerals interpreted a slender and graphically striking vintage spirit. The Vulcain name at 12 o'clock is accentuated by a stylised applied “V”, as well as by the inscription “Automatic” appearing in the lower part. Graduated with a fi ne minute circle around its circumference, the dial bears a date window at 6 o'clock.
A new embodiment of the classic and elegant watch, the 50s Presidents' Watch Classic is fi tted with a Louisiana alligator leather strap secured by an 18K pink gold or steel pin buckle.
