Vulcain

Vulcain is a Swiss watch brand best known for the Cricket alarm watch, one of the most famous mechanical alarm wristwatches ever produced. Founded in the 19th century, the brand built a strong reputation for practical complications and elegant mechanical watches. Vulcain watches are appreciated by collectors for their distinctive alarm function, vintage charm, and important place in Swiss watchmaking history.

Balance with Hairspring

A balance with hairspring is a key regulating assembly in a mechanical watch movement. The balance wheel and hairspring work together to control the rhythm of the movement, directly affecting accuracy and stability. These assemblies are often used in repairs when the original balance, hairspring, or pivots are damaged, worn, magnetized, or no longer performing correctly.
