Vulcain watches in Andorra at Bàsic Mercat Jewelry & Watch Retailer

The ultra-stylish analog watch

Much more than a classic watch

Despite the decline of Swiss watch manufacturers in the 1970s due to a movement in favour of electronic and quartz watches, the Vulcain brand never abandoned its brand philosophy, which is rooted in good taste, impeccable quality, aesthetic appeal and a commitment to crafting purely analog watches. This mantra forged its glorious rise to international recognition in the world of luxury.

Vlucain is synonymous with tradition, craftsmanship and art; manufacturing analog watches requires enormous precision and mastery of expert skills.

An analog watch does not only count the seconds and minutes that pass; it is a true embodiment of time. Its timeless modernity makes it a precious object cherished and passed down from generation to generation.

The Cricket Aviator: A true example of Vulcain’s quality timepieces

A true testimony to Vulcain’s expertise and reputation in the luxury watchmaking field, the Cricket Aviator GMT contains all the elements that have enabled the Swiss watch retailer to establish its place in the pantheon of the world’s most important watch manufacturers.
The inner case is made of stainless steel with a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal. It houses exact parts assembled with the most excellent precision by the expert hands of renowned master craftsmen.

The special feature

The movements of these watches are entirely manufactured in the Vulcain workshop and are not subject to any subcontracting system. Since its origins, Vulcain’s watchmakers have worked to continue to ensure their customers that all the components of their pieces are made in-house.

The other models

Over the decades, Vulcain has developed countless watch models. It would be impossible to create an exhaustive inventory of these collections; however, let us mention a few: the Classic, Tourbillon or Nautical collections.

Vulcain differentiates itself as a brand by creating movements that are famous throughout the world. These movements, also known as Vulcain Calibers, evolved and adapted to incorporate technological developments.

For example, the Vulcain Caliber V-61 is equipped with a latest-generation bi-directional automatic winding movement. Its rhodium-plated treatment, damaskeening finish, exquisitely open-worked oscillating weight, blued screws, 25 gemstones, and 93 pieces make it an eminently luxurious work.

The emblematic Swiss watchmaking brand’s history

Highly-regarded by American presidents

Vulcain was founded in 1858 in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland, in the Ditisheim brothers’ workshop.

The first watches incorporating Vulcain movements rapidly gained several awards, particularly at the World’s Fairs. The model La vallée de l’Arve, featuring gold pieces with a perpetual calendar, was awarded a prize in 1889 in Paris.

American presidents Eisenhower, Trumann, Nixon and Johnson were great admirers of the legendary Cricket Caliber. These men were devoted fans of this Swiss watchmaker.

Adventurers give praise

In the 1950s, explorers and adventurers were drawn to the Vulcain watches’ robust and reliable qualities. In the air, at sea or in the mountains, Vulcain became the privileged partner of globetrotters and scientific pioneers.
