ANALYSE<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Am Ende des Zweiten Weltkriegs waren die Techniker in den Labors der Manufaktur Vulcain f\u00fcnf Jahre lang damit besch\u00e4ftigt, eine Armbanduhr mit Weckerkomplikation zu entwickeln. Die Idee, einen Weckmechanismus in ein Armbanduhrwerk zu integrieren, war technisch nicht neu, aber kein Modell hatte bis dahin die akustische Herausforderung gel\u00f6st: ein ausreichendes Volumen in einem Kaliber von Standardgr\u00f6\u00dfe zu gew\u00e4hrleisten. Das Haupthindernis bei der Konstruktion war die Effizienz des Schlagwerks, da die von den herk\u00f6mmlichen Federn und H\u00e4mmern erzeugte Resonanz f\u00fcr einen wirksamen Alarm nicht ausreichte. Das Hauptziel bestand also darin, die Energie\u00fcbertragung auf die Klangkomponente zu optimieren und gleichzeitig die Zuverl\u00e4ssigkeit des Uhrwerks zu erhalten. Die von den Ingenieuren unter der Leitung von Robert Ditisheim - dem Enkel des Firmengr\u00fcnders Maurice Ditisheim - gew\u00e4hlte L\u00f6sung bestand in der Integration eines auf dem Geh\u00e4useboden positionierten Stifts, der denselben Geh\u00e4useboden als Resonanzraum zur Verst\u00e4rkung des akustischen Signals nutzte. Dieser Ansatz erm\u00f6glichte eine effizientere \u00dcbertragung der vom Alarmmechanismus erzeugten Schallschwingungen, auch dank der L\u00f6cher in einem zweiten, weiter au\u00dfen liegenden Geh\u00e4useboden.<\/span><\/p>\n

1947 verlie\u00df die erste wirklich funktionelle Weckerarmbanduhr mit dem Kaliber V 120 (US-Patent 2.644.294) die Vulcain-Fabriken: die Cricket\". Sie war sofort ein gro\u00dfer kommerzieller Erfolg.<\/span><\/p>\n

Im Rahmen dieser Studien zur Entwicklung der Mikromechanik gingen die Konstrukteure von Vulcain noch weiter: Sie wollten diese Komplikation weiter miniaturisieren. So entstand 1958 das Uhrwerk V 406, das in den Weckeruhren f\u00fcr Damen mit der Bezeichnung \"Golden Voice\" untergebracht war. Dieses Kaliber war mit einem Durchmesser von nur 19,5 mm sehr kompakt und mit einer Dicke von nur 5,2 mm sehr d\u00fcnn, erzeugte aber einen sauberen und lang anhaltenden Ton von \u00fcber 20 Sekunden. Um die Ausbreitung der Schallwellen weiter zu verbessern, experimentierte Vulcain mit einem mit Goldfolie \u00fcberzogenen Geh\u00e4useboden, der sich als das beste Material zur Verst\u00e4rkung des Klangs erwies (daher der Name \"Golden Voice\").<\/span><\/p>\n

Die \"Goldene Stimme\" wurde nur in wenigen Exemplaren und in der kurzen Zeit zwischen 1958 und 1963 hergestellt, so dass sie ein sehr seltener Vogel ist. Das Exemplar, das Sie hier sehen, k\u00f6nnte also das erste sein, das Sie aus der N\u00e4he betrachten.<\/span><\/p>\n

Das Zifferblatt ist klar und hat eine \"Tintenfisch\"-Oberfl\u00e4che. Die Minuterie ist zentriert, um die Einstellung des Weckers mit dem entsprechenden Zeiger zu erleichtern. Die Stunden werden durch parallelepipedische Stahlindizes mit Tritium-Punkten angezeigt. In der Mitte des Zifferblatts bei 12 befindet sich der Schriftzug Vulcain Cricket\", weiter unten bei 6 die elegante kursive Signatur Golden Voice\". Die Zeiger haben die Form einer Dauphine mit einer Aussparung f\u00fcr die Leuchtpaste.<\/span><\/p>\n

Das Geh\u00e4use ist rund und endet in langen Stollen mit einem facettierten Profil. Die R\u00fcckseite ist durch zwei B\u00f6den gekennzeichnet: der innere hat den Stift, auf dem der Hammer aufschl\u00e4gt; der \u00e4u\u00dfere ist die Resonanzmembran mit 6 L\u00f6chern zur Unterst\u00fctzung der akustischen Ausdehnung.<\/span><\/p>\n

Im Inneren befindet sich das wunderbare und seltene Manufakturkaliber V 406 mit doppeltem Federhaus und \u00fcbergro\u00dfem Alarmhammer.<\/span><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

The hands are dauphine-shaped with a recess for the luminescent paste. The case is circular and ends in long lugs with a faceted profile.

To further improve the extension of the sound waves, Vulcain experimented with a back case covered with gold foil, which proved to be the best material for amplifying the sound (this is why the model was named \"Golden Voice\"). The \"Golden Voice\" was produced in few pieces and in the short period between 1958 and 1963, so it is a very rare bird. So this you are seeing could be the first one you look at up close. The dial is clear with a \"cuttlefish\" surface. The minute track is centered to help setting the alarm with the appropriate pointer. Indicating the hours are parallelepiped-shaped steel indexes coupled with tritium dots. In the center of the dial at 12 is the Vulcain Cricket signature; further down at 6 is the elegant cursive signature \"Golden Voice\". The hands are dauphine-shaped with a recess for the luminescent paste. The case is circular and ends in long lugs with a faceted profile. The back is characterized by two casebacks: the inner one has the pin where the hammer strikes; the outer one is the resonance membrane with 6 holes to help the acoustic extension. Inside there is the wonderful and rare manufacture caliber V 406 with double barrel and oversized alarm hammer.","og_url":"https:\/\/thevintageur.com\/de\/shop\/vulcain-cricket-golden-voice-stell-gehause-im-haus-handaufzug-werk-v-406-aus-den-fruhen-60er-jahren\/","og_site_name":"The Vintageur","article_modified_time":"2025-07-25T09:26:21+00:00","og_image":[{"width":2560,"height":2560,"url":"https:\/\/thevintageur.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/2025-07-21-20-02-02-CS4.jpg","type":"image\/jpeg"}],"twitter_card":"summary_large_image","twitter_misc":{"Preis":"1.200,00 €","Verf\u00fcgbarkeit":"Auf Lager"},"schema":{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https:\/\/thevintageur.com\/shop\/vulcain-cricket-golden-voice-stell-case-in-house-manual-winding-movement-v-406-from-early-60s\/","url":"https:\/\/thevintageur.com\/shop\/vulcain-cricket-golden-voice-stell-case-in-house-manual-winding-movement-v-406-from-early-60s\/","name":"Vulcain Cricket \"Golden Voice\" Stell Geh\u00e4use In-House Handaufzug Uhrwerk V 406 aus den fr\u00fchen 60er Jahren - The Vintageur","isPartOf":{"@id":"https:\/\/thevintageur.com\/#website"},"primaryImageOfPage":{"@id":"https:\/\/thevintageur.com\/shop\/vulcain-cricket-golden-voice-stell-case-in-house-manual-winding-movement-v-406-from-early-60s\/#primaryimage"},"image":{"@id":"https:\/\/thevintageur.com\/shop\/vulcain-cricket-golden-voice-stell-case-in-house-manual-winding-movement-v-406-from-early-60s\/#primaryimage"},"thumbnailUrl":"https:\/\/thevintageur.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/2025-07-21-20-02-02-CS4.jpg","datePublished":"2025-07-24T20:26:22+00:00","dateModified":"2025-07-25T09:26:21+00:00","description":"SPEZIFIKATIONEN Seltene Vulcain Cricket \"Golden Voice\" mit Stahlgeh\u00e4use und -armband, Weckerwerk mit Handaufzug V 406, aus den fr\u00fchen 60er Jahren. Stahlgeh\u00e4use mit einem Durchmesser von 22,2 mm und einem Durchmesser von 29,7 mm mit originalen Kronen mit Logo Edelstahlarmband mit starrem Armband Weckerwerk mit Handaufzug V 406 ANALYSE Am Ende des Zweiten Weltkriegs waren die Techniker in den Labors der Manufaktur Vulcain f\u00fcnf Jahre lang mit der Entwicklung einer Armbanduhr mit Weckerkomplikation besch\u00e4ftigt. Die Idee, einen Weckmechanismus in ein Armbanduhrwerk zu integrieren, war technisch nicht neu, aber kein Modell hatte bis dahin die akustische Herausforderung gel\u00f6st: ein ausreichendes Volumen in einem Kaliber von Standardgr\u00f6\u00dfe zu gew\u00e4hrleisten. Das Haupthindernis bei der Konstruktion war die Effizienz des Schlagwerks, da die von den herk\u00f6mmlichen Federn und H\u00e4mmern erzeugte Resonanz f\u00fcr einen wirksamen Alarm nicht ausreichte. Das Hauptziel bestand also darin, die Energie\u00fcbertragung auf die Klangkomponente zu optimieren und gleichzeitig die Zuverl\u00e4ssigkeit des Uhrwerks zu erhalten. Die von den Ingenieuren unter der Leitung von Robert Ditisheim - dem Enkel des Firmengr\u00fcnders Maurice Ditisheim - gew\u00e4hlte L\u00f6sung bestand in der Integration eines auf dem Geh\u00e4useboden positionierten Stifts, der denselben Geh\u00e4useboden als Resonanzraum zur Verst\u00e4rkung des akustischen Signals nutzte. Dieser Ansatz erm\u00f6glichte eine effizientere \u00dcbertragung der vom Weckmechanismus erzeugten Schallschwingungen, auch dank der L\u00f6cher in einem zweiten, weiter au\u00dfen liegenden Geh\u00e4useboden. 1947 verlie\u00df die erste wirklich funktionsf\u00e4hige Weckerarmbanduhr mit dem Kaliber V 120 (US-Patent 2.644.294) die Vulcain-Fabriken: die Cricket\". Sie war sofort ein gro\u00dfer kommerzieller Erfolg. Im Rahmen dieser Studien zur Entwicklung der Mikromechanik gingen die Konstrukteure von Vulcain noch weiter: Sie wollten diese Komplikation weiter miniaturisieren. So entstand 1958 das Uhrwerk V 406, das in den Weckeruhren f\u00fcr Damen mit der Bezeichnung \"Golden Voice\" untergebracht war. Dieses Kaliber war mit einem Durchmesser von nur 19,5 mm sehr kompakt und mit einer Dicke von nur 5,2 mm sehr d\u00fcnn, erzeugte aber einen sauberen und lang anhaltenden Ton von \u00fcber 20 Sekunden. Um die Ausbreitung der Schallwellen weiter zu verbessern, experimentierte Vulcain mit einem mit Goldfolie \u00fcberzogenen Geh\u00e4useboden, der sich als das beste Material zur Verst\u00e4rkung des Klangs erwies (daher der Name \"Golden Voice\"). Die \"Goldene Stimme\" wurde nur in wenigen Exemplaren und in der kurzen Zeit zwischen 1958 und 1963 hergestellt, sie ist also ein sehr seltener Vogel. Die Uhr, die Sie hier sehen, k\u00f6nnte also die erste sein, die Sie aus der N\u00e4he betrachten. Das Zifferblatt ist klar und hat eine \"Tintenfisch\"-Oberfl\u00e4che. Die Minuterie ist zentriert, um die Einstellung des Weckers mit dem entsprechenden Zeiger zu erleichtern. Die Stunden werden durch parallelepipedische Stahlindizes mit Tritium-Punkten angezeigt. In der Mitte des Zifferblatts bei 12 befindet sich der Schriftzug Vulcain Cricket\", weiter unten bei 6 die elegante kursive Signatur Golden Voice\". Die Zeiger haben die Form einer Dauphine mit einer Aussparung f\u00fcr die Leuchtpaste. Das Geh\u00e4use ist rund und endet in langen, facettierten Bandanst\u00f6\u00dfen. Der Boden zeichnet sich durch zwei R\u00fcckw\u00e4nde aus: die innere hat den Stift, an dem der Hammer anschl\u00e4gt; die \u00e4u\u00dfere ist die Resonanzmembran mit 6 L\u00f6chern, um die akustische Ausdehnung zu unterst\u00fctzen. Im Inneren befindet sich das wunderbare und seltene Manufakturkaliber V 406 mit doppeltem Federhaus und \u00fcbergro\u00dfem Weckerhammer.","breadcrumb":{"@id":"https:\/\/thevintageur.com\/shop\/vulcain-cricket-golden-voice-stell-case-in-house-manual-winding-movement-v-406-from-early-60s\/#breadcrumb"},"inLanguage":"de","potentialAction":[{"@type":"ReadAction","target":["https:\/\/thevintageur.com\/shop\/vulcain-cricket-golden-voice-stell-case-in-house-manual-winding-movement-v-406-from-early-60s\/"]}]},{"@type":"ImageObject","inLanguage":"de","@id":"https:\/\/thevintageur.com\/shop\/vulcain-cricket-golden-voice-stell-case-in-house-manual-winding-movement-v-406-from-early-60s\/#primaryimage","url":"https:\/\/thevintageur.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/2025-07-21-20-02-02-CS4.jpg","contentUrl":"https:\/\/thevintageur.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/2025-07-21-20-02-02-CS4.jpg","width":2560,"height":2560},{"@type":"BreadcrumbList","@id":"https:\/\/thevintageur.com\/shop\/vulcain-cricket-golden-voice-stell-case-in-house-manual-winding-movement-v-406-from-early-60s\/#breadcrumb","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https:\/\/thevintageur.com\/"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Shop","item":"https:\/\/thevintageur.com\/it\/negozio\/"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"name":"Vulcain Cricket “Golden Voice” Stell Case In-House Manual Winding Movement V 406 From early 60s"}]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https:\/\/thevintageur.com\/#website","url":"https:\/\/thevintageur.com\/","name":"Der Winzer","description":"Ihre ma\u00dfgefertigte Uhrenkollektion","publisher":{"@id":"https:\/\/thevintageur.com\/#organization"},"potentialAction":[{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https:\/\/thevintageur.com\/?s={search_term_string}"},"query-input":{"@type":"PropertyValueSpecification","valueRequired":true,"valueName":"search_term_string"}}],"inLanguage":"de"},{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https:\/\/thevintageur.com\/#organization","name":"Der Winzer","url":"https:\/\/thevintageur.com\/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","inLanguage":"de","@id":"https:\/\/thevintageur.com\/#\/schema\/logo\/image\/","url":"https:\/\/thevintageur.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/logo-dark.svg","contentUrl":"https:\/\/thevintageur.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/logo-dark.svg","width":392,"height":28,"caption":"The Vintageur"},"image":{"@id":"https:\/\/thevintageur.com\/#\/schema\/logo\/image\/"},"sameAs":["https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/vintageur\/"]}]},"product_price_amount":"1200.00","product_price_currency":"EUR","og_availability":"instock","product_availability":"instock","product_retailer_item_id":"830","product_condition":"new"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/thevintageur.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/62234","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/thevintageur.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/thevintageur.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thevintageur.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=62234"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/thevintageur.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/62234\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thevintageur.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/62235"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/thevintageur.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=62234"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thevintageur.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=62234"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thevintageur.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=62234"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thevintageur.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=62234"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
