One pusher, done properly
By Marco Bellini, Zurich ·
A monopusher chronograph is simple to describe: one button starts, stops and resets. It is not simple to build. Vulcain uses a Sellita SW510 M MP b, a hand-wound calibre with the single pusher integrated at 2 o'clock, decorated with Côtes de Genève and blued screws.
The case is 38.9 mm and 13 mm high. Small seconds at 9, 30-minute counter at 3, black dial with khaki numerals. 58 hours of reserve. 4 Hz.
Criticism: this is an industrial movement dressed nicely, not a hand-finished calibre, and at around $3,800 you are paying for the monopusher and the look as much as the mechanics. 5 bar.
It's a well-made and well-proportioned watch. If you want the monopusher experience without the five-figure price, it is a reasonable entry.
