We are excited to unveil our latest collaboration — the Vulcain Cricket ‘Style Moderne’ for Revolution & The Rake.
Inspired by the golden age of Art Deco design, our limited edition Vulcain Cricket features a very special two-tone Bellini and anthracite-colored dial, and a sector track like those made popular by brands such as Patek Philippe, Omega, and Longines in the 1920s.
For our Vulcain Cricket watch, there is the addition of white rhodium applied Arabic markers with the “3” and “9” oriented horizontally, just as in the vintage wristwatches from the ’30s.
The Vulcain Cricket dates back to 1947 when it was introduced as the world’s first mechanical alarm watch. It achieved this with the use of two barrels, the coiled springs that act as a power source for a watch. The original Cricket was a decidedly handsome timepiece, characterized by a smooth round 36mm-diameter case, long elegant lugs typical of the ’40s and ’50s, large easy-to-manipulate crown, and a domed pusher for switching off the alarm.
Our version of the revived Vulcain Cricket features a modern 39mm-diameter case. Made in just 50 examples and priced at USD 4,060, this gorgeous tribute to a bygone era is available for purchase on RevolutionWatch.com on 18 May 2023, 10pm SGT | 4pm CET | 10am EST.
