  • Description

    Considered to be the second rarest alarm watch ever produced the Vulcain was the predecessor to the Polaris by Jaeger. In its rarest configuration with pointed arrow rather than lolipop hand yet still a fraction of the cost of its JLC counterpart. Historically the first divers alarm watch ever produced, made famous by the diver Hannes Keller who went to a record breaking depth of 222 meters. Designed to be the perfect diving watch with an audible alarm under water, but also able to calculate diving decompression times with the inner rotating bezel. Also reputed to be one of the first watches to use Tritium rather than Radium and featured a double membrane case to be perfectly waterproof. This example came from the original owner who purchased it new in 1962 !

  • Why buy from us

    1st & foremost, we understand & take responsibility for the fact that both tastes & horological fashions are ever changing.

    We do this by being willing to take back past pieces we've sold either in the form of part exchanges or cash when needed.

    With clients rarely loosing more than 15-20% in this process & even benefitting from large profits on occasion, we believe this is the way to build trust with the public. For example. If going 'off piste' & not sticking to in vogue trendy watches such as Batman's, we believe you would incur the same monetary loss spending £20,000 with us on your various purchases as you would spending £8500 at new RRP.

    The very fact that we've never advertised in over 30 years shows we have a long standing loyal customer base. Please see testimonials for more on this.
