Vulcain is not the only brand to occupy the alarm-watch niche

Travel times
Vulcain is not the only brand to occupy the alarm-watch niche. In its Leman Réveil GMT “Anniversary 1735-2005″ model, Blancpain combined this complication with a dual time-zone indication in an unusual way: the alarm hand is connected to the dual time-zone display, that of the temporary location, indicated by the large hour and minute hands. The date is also indexed to the travel time. Another practical innovation lies in the movement’s automatic-winding mechanism enabling simultaneous winding of the winding mechanism. The Replica Rolex Day-Date Réveil du Tsar, by Breguet, features similar functions, along with a striking-mode indicator in a small window at 12:00. The Grande Class Traveller Minute Repeater El Primero by Zenith (see the chapter on Multi-Complications) includes an alarm function with a two-tone strike or vibrate mode, as well as two power-reserve indicators: one for the movement and the other for the striking mechanism. In 2005, Jaeger-LeCoultre launched the Master Grand Réveil, with perpetual calendar. The alarm mechanism features a barrel and lever independent from the main movement, as well as a hammer causing a gong suspended in the back of the watch to vibrate. The Replica Breitling Bentley alarm may be set to strike or vibrate mode—a choice appearing in an aperture between 10:00 and 11:00. In a more sporty style, Jaeger-LeCoultre has saluted its partnership with Aston Martin by creating the AMVOX1 R-Alarm, distinguished by its distinctive appearance reminiscent of dashboard counters. More recently, the Manufacture from Le Sentier introduced the Master Compressor Extreme W-Alarm. In addition to its shock-absorbing case, this ultra-sturdy and ultra-resistant watch features several patented innovations relating to the alarm mechanism.Instead of being fixed to the back of the case (which makes the alarm less audible when the watch is strapped to the wrist), the gong is wrapped around the movement and secured to the case middle by two pins. Moreover, the hammer strikes the gong in a specific place close to its fastening point.
