Vulcain is the first mechanical alarm watch and is coined the “Watch for Presidents” as it was worn by many starting with Harry S. Truman in 1953, at the end of his term. The caseback was engraved with his famous phrase, "One More Please" and was a gift from the White House Press Photographer's Association. Lyndon B. Johnson was a Vulcan enthusiast, owning multiple Crickets: reportedly purchased a personal in Geneva and even ordered 200+ to give away as gifts.
Today, we are offering a very vintage midcentury time tool with functional alarm complication, faceted applied markers and gold plated case. In very good condition with exception of a scruff on crystal which is easily seen in pictures and video. While no service history, this one is running well for its era and caliber—winds very smoothly and shows high amplitude on timegrapher.
