VULCAIN Roman dial, 1970s

— Refined silence —

A dial with every unnecessary ornament removed, carrying black Roman indices in good order: a quiet kind of beauty. What the two hands mark out is not the restless time of the present but something more leisurely and classical.

— Vulcain's history and design —

Vulcain is best known for the watches worn by successive American presidents. Here a hand-wound movement stamped MSR — from the manufacturing group formed by mergers in the 1960s — beats inside. Its carefully finished 17-jewel construction is a small piece of Swiss craft history.

— Slim, and intelligent —

A carefully judged slim stainless steel case follows the wrist closely. Simple, but with enough edge in the lug work to keep it interesting.
