IKEPOD Megapode Date Steel Chronometer – New Old Stock

Before the hype. Before the reissues.
This is where it started.

The original Ikepod Megapode Date, designed by Marc Newson, one of the most influential designers in modern history. A shape so pure, so ahead of its time, it still looks futuristic decades later.

And this one is different.

Not just design.
A true automatic chronometer.

At a time when most watches focused on aesthetics alone, this piece combined radical design with certified mechanical precision — something today’s versions simply don’t offer.

Let’s be clear:

This is not a reissue.
This is the original pre-2000 piece.

New Old Stock – never worn
Fully checked by a Swiss watchmaker
Preserved in outstanding condition

No compromises. No shortcuts. No modern reinterpretation.

On the wrist, it doesn’t try to impress everyone.
It speaks to those who understand.

Clean. Radical. Effortless.
A design object as much as a timepiece.

And today?

Pieces like this are getting harder to find — especially in NOS condition with a chronometer movement.

If you know, you know.
If you don’t — this is where you start.

VULCAIN CLASSIC PRESIDENT CRICKET
Timeless Heritage. Absolute Distinction.

Some watches tell time.
Others tell a story.

Known as “The President’s Watch”, the Vulcain Cricket has been worn by several U.S. Presidents, making it one of the most historically significant watches ever produced.

First introduced in 1947, the Vulcain President stands among the great icons of Swiss watchmaking. Today, it returns in a faithful reissue — preserving its original spirit while offering the refinement expected by modern collectors.

Its elegant 39 mm case (36 mm available on request) embodies perfect proportions, while the hand-wound movement reflects the purity of traditional horology.

At the heart of this timepiece lies the legendary Cricket alarm — a rare and emblematic complication, instantly recognizable, that has defined Vulcain’s identity for decades.

Subtle, refined, and unmistakably distinctive, the President does not seek attention — it commands it, quietly.

WHY THIS WATCH STANDS APART

• A true icon since 1947, faithfully reissued
• The legendary Cricket mechanical alarm, unique in fine watchmaking
• Elegant 39 mm case, perfectly balanced on the wrist
• Authentic hand-wound movement, for purists
• A timepiece designed for collectors and connoisseurs

At SwissWatches1999, we select watches that carry meaning — pieces with history, character, and lasting value.

The Vulcain President Cricket is not simply a watch.
It is a statement of taste, heritage, and individuality.

Available now. For those who choose substance over noise.
