Vulcain Cricket Titanium Watch
The Vulcain Cricket Titanium is a limited‑edition alarm watch released in a run of only 100 pieces. It features a 39 mm case crafted from grade 5 titanium, polished throughout, with a matching titanium dial that showcases a stamped guilloché pattern and white minute track printing. The handset is available in several colors, combining skeletonized dauphine hour and minute hands with a black seconds hand and a metallic nickel‑plated alarm hand. The movement, a manually‑wound V14 calibre, is also constructed from titanium blanks, offering a frequency of 18,800 VpH, a 52‑hour power reserve for timekeeping, and a separate barrel for the alarm, which sounds for about 20 seconds. The watch is presented on a black calfskin strap with a quick‑change system and is priced at $7,670. Beyond its striking material choice, the Cricket Titanium maintains the classic aesthetics of Vulcain’s iconic alarm watches while introducing modern refinements. Its titanium construction reduces weight and adds durability, and the exhibition caseback reveals the fully titanium movement. With a water resistance of 5 atm and a modest thickness of 12.8 mm, the piece balances robustness with wearability. Anticipated for delivery in mid‑July, the watch appeals to collectors seeking a unique blend of heritage, technical innovation, and exclusive design.
Buying Time Analysis: The Vulcain Cricket Titanium marks a milestone by delivering a fully titanium‑crafted limited‑edition mechanical alarm watch, showcasing innovative material use and reinforcing Vulcain’s resurgence in haute horology.
