We are many here to cherish this complication. I agree with you on the Vulcain Cricket. I was surprised by the " punch " of the alarm.
Panerai released one, too, if I remember well, it shared the same movement than in the Vulcain, or was it a JLC movement, Inside, or, chronologically, both?
Blancpain doesn't have to be forgotten, here, as it is a cousin of the Reveil du Tsar.
And of course, the Kings of the category, the Ulysse Nardin Sonata, and the Harry Winston Z6.
Yes, these Alarms are fascinating watches!
Best, and thanks for your post.
