Brand vibe
Vulcain is the alarm watch brand. Apparently, the 1947 Cricket calibre made it the one mechanical wristwatch loud enough to wake a sleeping president, and this house has been living off (and honoring) that single piece of engineering ever since. Founded in 1858 in Le Locle by Maurice Ditisheim, today's Vulcain is a small operation splitting its attention between faithful Cricket re-editions and a fun mid-century revival line of Skindiver divers and 70s chronographs. Also it makes me think of the Marvel superhero Vulcan. Which is cool if you're me.

Not enough information for a duty figure
The fields above are reported facts. None of them establishes customs origin: that depends on the watch's tariff classification and a substantial-transformation analysis, and what you actually pay also depends on the seller's shipping and duty-payment terms. Ask the seller for the country of origin and whether duties are collected at checkout, and confirm rates against official sources.
