Celebrated for its precision and robust craftsmanship, Vulcain holds an esteemed place in Swiss watchmaking history as one of the pioneers of chronometer-certified wristwatches. The present “Chronomètre Jumbo,” housed in a large Staybrite stainless steel case, exemplifies the technical ambition and elegant restraint that defined the brand’s prewar and postwar designs.

Its silvered dial, accented by a perfectly proportioned small seconds register and blued steel hands, radiates understated sophistication, while the oversized case lends the piece a contemporary presence well ahead of its time. The manual-wind chronometer movement within underscores Vulcain’s dedication to accuracy and reliability.

A superb example of classic Swiss precision, the “Chronomètre Jumbo” remains a rare and evocative timepiece, a watch where purity of design meets mechanical excellence.
