The Vulcain Cricket is renowned for its mechanical alarm complication, a feature that sets it apart in the world of vintage watches. This complication was the first wristwatch alarm to utilize a resonant double case back system for sound amplification, making it a marvel of its time.

This particular example, featuring a gold-plated case, offers a timeless and classic look that remains true to the design aesthetics of the 1960s era. The original dial further adds to its collector's value, preserving the watch's authenticity and charm. The distinct sound of the Cricket's alarm continues to captivate horologists and collectors worldwide. Powered by the manual winding Caliber 120, this movement is celebrated for its reliability and durability, ensuring that the watch remains a captivating piece for both wear and display.
