Llegada Vulcain Cricket
Llegada del Vulcain Cricket. Estupendo reloj y curioso la forma en que funciona. La puesta del despertador se consigue pulsando el botón (pulsador superior) y girando la corona. Carga hacia un lado el despertador, hacia otro el reloj. Puesta del despertador y silencio a través de pulsador.
