Horological Meandering

Friends, As mentioned, last week I had the chance to see some of the offerings from Vulcain. Here is a closer look on the 50s Presidents Chronograph: From the looks, Vulcain is using the same case as for the Moonphase I was posting earlier. home.watc...  

They really release some excellent products, at Vulcain, lastly... Best, Nicolas

I think it is well balanced with the applied "12", but I agree on the case back. Yes, more to come. Best Blomman

I like the president cricket but this one is a real looker. Vulcain are a great value as well. Thanks for sharing these shots.

Ingemar is a very typical Swedish name. You don't happen to be Swedish or have Swedish ancestors...? Best Blomman

Thank you, Blomman. Hmmmmm, I guess I'll have to read the instructions to learn how to post pictures at this site! Incidentally, when will you open your JLC museum? I've enjoyed your posts, pictures and wonderful JLC ads since joining PuristS. Ano Nuevo

Well, hopefully one day I will do something with all my JLC stuff... Or I could do a joint venture JLC - GP! ;) Best Blomman

Guys, I'm resurrecting an old thread here in the hope of getting an answer to something that has baffled me ever since I myself purchased one of these myself some years ago. I have two Vulcain's and love the fact they are well made, reasonably priced for ...

Thus, the six increments between hour markers, instead of the traditional 5 increments. So you lose the ease of seeing minutes precisely, but gain alarm setting precision. Maybe???

But thanks for the thoughts - much appreciated.
