It’s the story of two legends whose paths crossed: Real Madrid and Vulcain. But we are only at the beginning of the 1930s, when the brand was already well established in Spain and football was extremely popular there.

André Ditisheim, the grandson of one of the co-founders of the Manufacture that would become Vulcain in 1894, was a talented athlete — skilled at tennis, an accomplished skier, and above all passionate about football.

At 18, he went to Madrid to learn Spanish and quickly proved his talent as an attacking midfielder, signing with Madrid FC, today’s Real Madrid, where he left a mark on the Club’s history.

To honor this illustrious sports history, the Vulcain Manufacture in Le Locle is re-issuing its iconic 1950s Chronograph Heritage. This new iteration, named the 'Monopusher,' features a more compact 39mm case. It will be available in three versions, with two limited editions of just 50 pieces each.

Faithful to the aesthetic of the original dial, the numerals and hour-markers remain identical to the iconic timepiece.

Under the Vulcain emblem at 12:00 is the word "Chronometer". In addition to the minute track, the dial features a pulsometer underlined by the words "Graduated for 30 pulsations".

In 1934, Vulcain became the official timekeeper of Real Madrid. And during this season, his coach Fernando Bru used his Vulcain to time the training sessions. He wrote: “Our training, measured with a Vulcain stopwatch of astounding precision, led us to our most decisive success in the Spanish Championship in 1934.”

To pay tribute to this prestigious sporting past, the Manufacture in Le Locle has reissued its mono-pusher model in a smaller 39 mm version, named Monopusher, and is now introducing a new dial variation—a Panda version—for an even more precise reading of time.

With the crisp contrast between the sunburst white dial and the two black counters, the Monopusher chronograph remains true to the design of the original dial.

The numerals and indexes have stayed identical. Beyond the minute track, the dial is animated by a pulsometer marked with the inscription « Gradué pour 30 pulsations ».

Only the movement has changed, as the watch now houses a manual-winding SELLITA SW510 calibre at its core, offering a 58-hour power reserve. A single pusher at two o’clock controls all time-measurement functions: start, stop, reset.

A watch that is precise, balanced, and expressive—faithful to the Vulcain signature.
