Εχει γινει πολυ καλη δουλεια σε αυτα τα καντραν.Λιγες μαρκες πλεον φτιαχνουν τετοιου τυπου καντραν λογω του οτι απαιτουν χειροποιητη εργασια και επιδεξιοτητα.
Ειχα διαβασει σε ενα ξενο βιβλιο για τα σταδια που περναει η παραγωγη ενος enamel και δεν ηταν οτι πιο ευκολο,αν προσθεσεις δε χρωματα και σχεδια οπως τα παραπανω μιλαμε για τεχνη.
Φημισμενη για τα enamel της αλλα παμε πολλες δεκαετιες πισω ητανε η κυρια Patek Phillipe.

Vulcain 50s Presidents’ Chronograph Heritage

One of the undisputed strengths of Vulcain’s marketing – formerly simply referred to as a sales technique – lay in its early sense of the attraction exercised by football. The ultimate global team sport, football enjoyed particularly spectacular success in Spanish speaking countries, where the brand was well established by the early 20th century. The association between a watch, the choreography of carefully timed moves on a football field, and a group of elite young sportsmen proved a winning formula, as is confirmed by the letter written to Vulcain by the Real Madrid coach Francisco Bru: “Our training sessions, calculated using an incredibly chronometer-precision Vulcain watch, have led us to our decisive win in the 1934 Spanish Championship”. That same year, Bru also led the team to victory in the Spanish Football Cup. It was the start of the reign of its President Santiago Bernabéu, who was first a legendary player who scored over 1,200 goals wearing the team jersey – and later the charismatic boss after which the current stadium is named.

In addition to the Real Madrid team, Italy’s La Fiorentina club also entrusted Vulcain with equipping it with high quality timepieces. The Manufacture from Le Locle has decided to highlight this prestigious sporting past through the 50s Presidents’ Chronograph Heritage, a re-edition of the vintage model in a contemporary 42 mm size. Echoing the graphic design of the original dial, it comes in three different versions: black with brown transfer, “eggshell” white with black transfer and silver-toned with blue transfer. The font used is also the same as on the historical model, especially for the logo and the numerals. In addition to the minute circle around its circumference, the dial is enlivened by a pulsometric scale underscored by the inscription “Gradué pour 30 pulsations” (graduated for 30 heartbeats). The legend “chronometer” appears below the Vulcain name at 12 o’clock, thereby specifying this chronograph’s undisputed vocation for excellence.

The 50s Presidents’ Chronograph Heritage is equipped with the single-pusher self-winding Vulcain V-57 chronograph calibre, a movement chronometer-certified by the COSC. Endowed with a 42-hour power reserve, it drives the hours, minutes, small seconds at 9 o’clock, sweep seconds chronograph and 30-minute chronograph counter at 3 o’clock.

Water-resistant to 50 metres, the 42 mm case in 18K rose gold or steel is fitted with a Louisiana alligator leather strap with 18K rose gold or steel pin buckle.

Vulcain 50s Presidents’ Chronograph


Building on a history offering a consistent blend of technical sophistication and precision, the Manufacture Vulcain is re-introducing a modern version of a single-pusher chronograph that became a legend. It was used by the coaches of the Real Madrid football club to time their training sessions, and they ascribed to it their victory in the Spanish Championship at that time. Named the 50s Presidents’ Chronograph, this technical watch is also available in a Heritage version.

Following on from the 50s Presidents’ Watch unveiled in 2010, Vulcain is introducing an exclusive new range of self-winding single-pusher chronographs. Available in two versions, this timepiece highlights one of the major horological complications, combining a sporting and technical nature: the chronograph. Better still, this new Vulcain single-pusher chronograph is inspired by a model that became a favourite with the coaches of the Real Madrid football club when it won the National Championship in 1934. Those in charge attributed a share of credit for this win to the Vulcain chronograph they had used to time their training sessions. Thus pervaded by the spirit of sport and of history, the new range enjoys strong roots further consolidated by the use of a complication presented in what is now a rare and distinguished version: the single-pusher type.

The first version, the 50s Presidents’ Chronograph, is entirely in tune with the aesthetic codes governing the new range; while the second, the 50s Presidents’ Watch Heritage Chronograph is directly inspired by the dial of the 1934 model. Its calibre is chronometer-certified by the COSC.

Celebrating the classic 1950s design codes, the 50s Presidents’ Chronograph features a blue, silver or charcoal grey dial curved at either end, as was typical in that era. The 12 o’clock numeral is surrounded by diamond polished hour-markers. The dial displays two counters – a small seconds subdial at 9 o’clock and a 30-minute chronograph totalizer at 3 o’clock – in a “bicompax”* style that was much in vogue at the time. A slightly oversized window at 6 o’clock indicates the date.

Available in 18K rose gold or steel, the 42 mm case is water-resistant to 50 metres. It houses the mechanical selfwinding Vulcain V-57 movement driving the hours, minutes, small seconds at 9 o’clock, date at 6 o’clock, central sweep seconds chronograph hand, and 30-minute chronograph counter at 3 o’clock. Graced with Vulcain’s characteristic haute horlogerie finishes, such as Côtes de Genève motifs, blued screws and a rhodiumed coating, it is endowed with a 42-hour power reserve.

The new 50s Presidents’ Chronograph is available on a Louisiana alligator leather strap with pin buckle in 18K rose gold or steel, or on a steel bracelet.

Vulcain 50S PRESIDENTS’ CLASSIC

As a watchmaking manufacturer founded in 1858, Vulcain has consistently enjoyed an international reputation thanks to the fine craftsmanship and elegance embodied in its timepieces. To emphasise this mastery of watchmaking technique and style, the brand is enriching its historical line with the 50s Presidents’ Classic model.

A specialist of alarm calibres, including its legendary “Cricket” model acclaimed by horological connoisseurs, Vulcain is also distinguished by its fabulous history in the art of time measurement. To celebrate this unique heritage, the Manufacture is complementing its historical collection with the 50s Presidents’ Watch Classic model. Offering a subtle blend of elegance, finesse and sophisticated watchmaking technique, this newcomer also pays tribute to the style of the 1950s, while interpreting it in a contemporary manner.

Aesthetically speaking, the 50s Presidents’ Classic features a remarkable sunray dial in charcoal grey, silvertoned or blue versions. Graced with diamond-polished hour-markers, it displays 3, 9 and 12 o’clock numerals interpreted a slender and graphically striking vintage spirit. The Vulcain name at 12 o’clock is accentuated by a stylised applied “V”, as well as by the inscription “Automatic” appearing in the lower part. Graduated with a fine minute circle around its circumference, the dial bears a date window at 6 o’clock.

The 42 mm-diameter case in 18K rose gold or steel is water-resistant to 50 metres and houses the mechanical bidirectional self-winding Vulcain V-56 movement. This calibre is adorned with haute horlogerie finishes such as a ”Côtes de Genève” motif, blued screws and a rhodiumed treatment. The V-56 movement boasts a 42-hour power reserve and drives the hours, minutes, central seconds hands as well as the aperture-type date display. A cambered glareproofed sapphire crystal protects the dial, while a second crystal on the back serves reveals the intricate workings of the mechanism inside.

A new embodiment of the classic and elegant watch, the 50s Presidents’ Watch Classic is fitted with a Louisiana alligator leather strap secured by an 18K rose gold or steel pin buckle.
