====== Vulcain 120 ======
Calibre **120** (and the similar calibres **401** and **402**) is an [[alarm movement]] from [[Vulcain]] produced from [[1947]] through the 1960's.

[[Vulcain]] introduced the [[Vulcain Cricket|Cricket]] alarm watch in 1947 with much fanfare and the model remains famous today. The original Cricket movement was Cal. 120, a basic movement but innovative because of the alarm function. Like most alarm movements, it features [[two barrels]], one for timekeeping and another for the alarm gong. Cal. 120 was available with wither [[direct central seconds]] or [[small seconds]].

Both the alarm and timekeeping barrels are wound by turning the 3 00 crown clockwise or counter-clockwise, respectively. A [[pusher]] at 2 00 enables and disables the alarm function, and allows the alarm time to be set using the main crown when fully depressed.

Vulcain later re-badged the moment as **Cal. 401** and released a **Cal. 402** with date function added. A smaller [[Vulcain 406|Cal. 406]] was introduced in [[1958]] for ladies alarm watches.
