What We Fancy

One of the more fun features a vintage watch has to offer is the alarm. Usually, when thinking of a wrist alarm, you think of the famous Vulcain Cricket. Many other brands jumped on the popularity of the Cricket including Nivada Grenchen. They released their Wanderer model in the early 1960s and it even houses the Vulcain cal. 120 alarm movement. This example is in fantastic all original condition and the alarm function is LOUD.
