			Towards the end of the 1990s, Vulcain was sold by MSR. After its bankruptcy at the end of the 1990s, the PMH (Production et marketing Horologer) acquired all rights to the brand and the Vulcain Cricket V10 was introduced in 2001.

			This new beginning was associated with the relocation from La Chaux-de-Fonds to Le Locle, known for its association with the watch industry. In 2002, the first new models of the Vulcain were presented, largely based on historical models.
