Created in collaboration with CronotempVs, the limited edition Cricket André “DIDIXEIN” Ditisheim watch is a tribute to André Didisheim, descendant of the founder of Vulcain and Real Madrid football player.

André Didisheim, grandson of Maurice Ditisheim, was as an excellent sportsman and footballer. In 1907, he went to Madrid to learn Spanish because at the time South America was one of the most important markets for Swiss watch manufacture. André Didisheim displayed his talent as an attacking midfielder and signed with Madrid FC (now known as Real Madrid FC).

While in Madrid FC, his name Didisheim was changed to “Didixein”. Paying tribute to André Didisheim, the Vulcain x CronotempVs Collectors limited edition Cricket watch has a 39mm diameter case with engraved steel polished case-back.

The crown placed at 3:00 can be used to manually wind the watch movement in one direction to set the alarm and in the opposite direction to set the time. The pusher placed at 2:00 sets the alarm with the arrow-shaped hand.

The vintage themed dial with the touches of gray colour, the dial features Arabic numerals coated with Superluminova. This timepiece is limited to 47 units.

Powering this timepiece, the Vulcain V-10 caliber is an evolution of the original movement from 1947. It is a manual-winding movement with a double barrel, operating at 18,000 vibrations per hour, and providing a power reserve of 50 hours.
