Vulcain
Vulcain was founded in 1858 in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland by the Ditisheim family. In the family studio, Ditisheim made pocket watches, which he sold under his own name. Through to the end of the Century, the watchmaker was called "Manufacture Ditisheim". In 1894, watches were first offered under the branding of Vulcain, with the company now under the leadership of Maurice Ditisheim's son, Ernest-Albert Ditisheim. In 1900, Ditisheim registered the name 'Vulcain' as a brand name for his pocket watches, naming it after the Roman god of Fire.
