Why isn't Vulcain mentioned more?

Why is Vulcain not mentioned more often on watch forums?

They make some stunning watches with in house movements and have a fantastic history (although they did go out of business for a while) and what doesn't seem to be ridiculous prices. So why do they not come up that often? Just overlooked or is there a good reason?

The new Vulcan is rather young. Personally I only like the simple alarm model. Do have a nice vintage Vulcan with close caseback, which is uncommon.


Here the model I like without date:

Yep, that's why the new models called 50s presidents' etc.!

Vulcain is a fantastic brand and very underrated. They don't market aggressively so that is why you do not hear much about them.

Tourneau have been selling at deep discounts for a while, perhaps they were not selling well? Looks like they have 4 models listed on-line at 60% off.

I think Tourneau is dropping Vulcain, but I could be wrong.

I've always had a thing for the Cricket Revolution

They are nice but never seem to sell. At the local dealers I always see the same models in stock and I know they aren't flying off the shelves.

It's got an uber cool name for a watch brand that's for sure
