Ein Klassiker mit Weckruf: Die neue Cricket mit Alarmfunktion

Mit dem neuesten Modell der Cricket-Serie präsentiert Vulcain ein Zeitmesser, der technische Raffinesse mit charakterstarker Gestaltung verbindet. Das Gehäuse aus poliertem 316L-Edelstahl mit einem Durchmesser von 36 mm strahlt klassische Zurückhaltung aus, während das gewölbte Saphirglas dem Design eine elegante Dynamik verleiht. Die klare Formensprache findet ihre Vollendung in einem sanft geschwungenen Zifferblatt in halbmattem Schwarz, das durch khakifarbene Druckelemente sowie mit weißer Leuchtmasse belegte Indizes subtil aufgelockert wird. Die leicht gewölbte Oberfläche des Zifferblatts („curve dial“) schafft eine schöne Tiefenwirkung und erinnert an ikonische Modelle vergangener Jahrzehnte – allerdings mit einer zeitgemäßen Ausstrahlung.

Mechanik mit Weckfunktion

Im Herzen dieser Uhr arbeitet das hauseigene Kaliber Vulcain Cricket V10 H0 – ein fein konstruierter, mechanischer Wecker mit Handaufzug, der gleich doppelt beeindruckt: durch seine technische Komplexität und seinen unverwechselbaren Klang. Dieses Uhrwerk umfasst 165 Einzelteile, 25 Lagersteine und ist mit einem doppelten Federhaus ausgestattet, das sowohl die Zeitanzeige als auch den Weckmechanismus unabhängig voneinander mit Energie versorgt. Dank des integrierten Exactomatic-Systems gewährleistet das Werk eine gleichmäßige Kraftübertragung, wodurch die Präzision verbessert und der Gang stabilisiert wird. Mit einer Frequenz von 18.000 Halbschwingungen pro Stunde erreicht es eine Gangreserve von 52 Stunden – die Alarmdauer beträgt etwa 20 Sekunden, genug also, um auch den tiefsten Träumer sanft und stilvoll zu wecken.

Detailverliebte Veredelung

Optisch überzeugt das Werk ebenso wie technisch: Eine feine Nickelbeschichtung, gebläute Schrauben und skelettierte Sperrräder lassen die Liebe zum Detail auf den ersten Blick erkennen. Je nach Ausführung ist der Gehäuseboden entweder geschlossen und poliert oder mit einem Sichtfenster aus Saphirglas ausgestattet, durch das das aufwendig verzierte Innenleben bewundert werden kann. Besonders markant: das gravierte Vulcain-Logo, das dem Zeitmesser einen Hauch handwerklicher Signatur verleiht und die Tradition der Manufaktur unterstreicht.

Komfort und Charakter

Die harmonische Gehäusehöhe von 12,8 mm sowie die schmalen Dimensionen des Bandanstoßes (18x16 mm) sorgen für ein angenehmes Tragegefühl – sowohl am Lederband als auch mit anderen Optionen. Der klassische Dornverschluss aus Edelstahl rundet den Auftritt stilvoll ab und fügt sich perfekt in das Gesamtbild ein. Die Wasserdichtigkeit von 5 ATM macht die Uhr zudem alltagstauglich, ohne ihren eleganten Charakter zu kompromittieren. Die polierten silberfarbenen Zeiger setzen sich deutlich vom Zifferblatt ab und ermöglichen in Verbindung mit der Leuchtmasse eine gute Ablesbarkeit, auch bei schlechten Lichtverhältnissen.

Vulcain – Ein Haus mit Geschichte

Die Manufaktur Vulcain blickt auf eine über 150-jährige Geschichte zurück – gegründet im Jahr 1858, tief verwurzelt im schweizerischen Le Locle, einem der traditionsreichsten Orte der Uhrmacherkunst. Schon früh machte sich das Familienunternehmen mit komplexen mechanischen Meisterwerken einen Namen: von Minutenrepetitionen bis hin zu Kalenderfunktionen. Heute befindet sich Vulcain in einer historischen Villa im Herzen der Neuenburger Berge – dort, wo feinste Uhrmacherkunst seit jeher zu Hause ist.

Die Marke hat es sich zur Aufgabe gemacht, ihre handwerkliche Expertise zu bewahren und gleichzeitig weiterzuentwickeln. Die Wiedergeburt der Cricket mit Alarmfunktion ist ein eindrucksvolles Zeugnis dieser Philosophie. Sie steht sinnbildlich für das, was Vulcain seit jeher auszeichnet: Innovation im Dienste der Tradition – in Form gebracht durch sorgfältige Handarbeit, technisches Können und ein feines Gespür für zeitlose Ästhetik.

Pretty Good... Not amazing.... But pretty good.
Format: Paperback
Before taking a stab at my first real story I have decided to read two books on the art of writing fiction; "Techniques of the Selling Writer" by Dwight Swain, and the book I am reviewing now, "Plot and Structure" by James Bell. While Swain's book was more of an all inclusive manual on writing interesting fiction, Bell's book is focused strictly on, as the name suggests, plot and structure. What this book is not... This is not a 'how to write a novel' book; if you are going to just read one book on writing a fiction novel then "Techniques of the Selling Writer" may be the more appropriate choice. If you are looking for a book that deals with anything outside of plot and structure, this book will be of no help there either. This book is designed to be supplemental to an already moderately educated reader. If you read Swain's book first, then you will instantly recognize the principles of this book. What this book is... This is a great book on, you guessed it, Plot and Structure. It's actually a fairly concentrated look into the subject. The chapters... Ch 1: What's a plot, anyway? Ch 2: Structure: What holds your plot together. Ch 3: How to explode with plot ideas. Ch 4: Beginning strong. Ch 5: Middles. Ch 6: Endings. Ch 7: Scenes. Ch 8: Complex Plots. Ch 9: The character arc in plot. Ch 10: Plotting Systems. Ch 11: Revising your plot. Ch 12: Plot Patterns. Ch 13: Common plot problems and cures. Ch 14: Tips and Tools for plot and structure. I found the specificity of this book very helpful with each principle being illustrated by a paragraph or so of a known author's work. Bell handpicks excerpts from authors varying from Dean Koontz to Herman Melville, brilliantly pulling text from these masters and showing us how they went about the relevant technique. This easy to read nature and well outlined subject matter means I will be using several of its chapters as a personal reference guide in the future. I'm certain it will keep me from making many of the mistakes beginning writers make and possibly save me weeks in rewrites. I will say this though... "Techniques of the Selling Writer" is a better book and covers plot quite well too; so if you are only going to read one book on writing, that is a damn good place to start. If you want to supplement that reading further, "Plot and Structure" comes highly recommended. [...]

Have no fear!, or The writer's Victorinox.
Format: Kindle
You can't praise this book enough. There are a ton of how-to books out there, but this one really made a difference for me. Think of writing as a journey through the woods: You set up, you get in the muddle, and you come out (hopefully) on the other side. When doing this, we try to use as many tools and resources as we can to make it to the other side, but most of the time you fail (or tools fail on you) and you end up starving or being eaten by some wild animal in the muddle of the story. What James Scott Bell wants you to have in clear is that the most useful tool you can have out there is YOU. And all of his tips, advice and excercises are aimed to one thing and one thing only: how to unleash and harness the power of your story (and survive). It provides clear, straight-forward tools and tips, adressing many aspects of the writing process you won't find in many of them. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the study of plots and storytelling. Relevant examples that take in consideration a wide array of writer profiles, and Bell does not abuse with film examples (and most of the movies it references are also books i.e.: the maltesse falcon, the godfather, etc.). It contains useful excercises at the end of each chapter to help you put the tehcniques in practice and bring the best out of your learning experience. It really helped me overcome several issues I had with my novel-writing and opened my mind to a new scope on plot and str.. This is a wonderful book, written in the same gripping style that the author suggests to use, and with great success. I think this is a wonderful book because it does not give infalible advice. To me that is very important. Let me ilustrate how I felt by giving you the following example: (after developing content) -Regular book: so just do This (and fail, miserably). -Bell's book: Many writers had this problem before and by doing This you might also find a solution for it. In case That doesn't work, you could maybe try This, or come back at it again later on with a fresh view and give it another try.

Excellent resource
Format: Paperback
Two novel ideas ago, I had to put that one aside because I stuffed it to the point where the story made no sense. I intend to go back to it at some point, but for now, it's collecting dust. Also collecting dust is my more recent idea. I started with an outline (of sorts), wrote and rewrote it a few times...only to get stuck on Chapter 8 or so. I didn't know where to take the story. This one will probably never get resurrected...but you never know. Which leads me to one of the best things in this book: outlining with index cards. There's at least one other book touting this, but I'm sure there are others that do. What sets this one apart, in my mind, is his suggestions on how to set it up. This doesn't comprise a huge part of the book, but it made enough sense to me that I decided to give it a whirl. Almost 50,000 words later, I'm still chugging along, taking into mind his ideas (I'd never heard it put quite this way) about doorways of no return (more on that in a moment). Sure, I've made some changes, throwing out cards, rearranging cards, adding cards. That's the beauty of this system: it's not set in granite. If your muse takes you in a way that's different from what you originally wrote, go for it! Mr. Bell explains the doorways simply, at first, as transitions - from beginning to middle and then middle to ending. The first doorway gets your Main Character from beginning to middle; the idea is to create a scene where the MC is thrust into conflict in a way that keeps him/her there. With the second doorway (middle to ending), something has to happen to set up the final confrontation. It's usually a huge clue, a big piece of information, or a major crisis that sends the MC hurtling towards the conclusion. Mr. Bell explains these in greater detail, and I found his explanations quite understandable. But there's more to this book than that. Mr. Bell gets into how to come up with plot ideas, character arcs, revising, plot problems and cures, scenes, and tips and tools. I wasn't bothered by his reusing some of the same good writing examples, but it may make you cringe or roll your eyes. Other than that minor quibble, I think everything else about this book makes it shine as a writer's resource.

Most Helpful Book I've Read on Plot and Structure
Format: Paperback
This is a well-organized, easy-to-read guide to techniques used to develop plots and sound story structure. It includes 14 chapters and two appendices. They cover such topics as what a plot is, how structure holds plot together, how to get ideas, and how to handle/interweave plot into all the levels of a novel (from whole sections such as the Beginning or middle of the work, down to the micro level of individual scenes). He includes discussion of different "plotting systems" (from writing by "the seat of your pants" to types/methods of creating outlines of various levels of "thoroughness" for those interested in mild outlining to someone with full-blown OCD). It discusses complex plots and sub plots, character arcs in relation to plot, common problems and solutions, revision, and more. Every chapter ends with a few exercises to reinforce the topic covered. The two appendices are a checklist for reminding you of major plot components as you write, and how to create "back cover" (aka the blurbs on the back of your book, or the summaries on the inside flap of dust jackets). As a writer, I am a "seat of the pants" guy, who's reluctantly recognized it isn't working for me (a major motivation for getting this book). Bell's discussion of different styles of outlining, though brief, gave me ideas of how to proceed. While I've often read books that include exercises, I confess to rarely doing them -- Bell is an exception (no, I didn't do *all* of them, but.... :) ). His text uses plenty of examples, drawn from movies and well-known novels. I've read other works on plot and structure (both general books and at least two dedicated to these topics), and have found this one to be by far the most readable, instructive, easy-to-digest, and *helpful.*

I have a few instructional writing books I reread; this is one of them.
Format: Paperback
Plot & Structure: Techniques and Exercises for Crafting a Plot That Grips Readers from Start to Finish by James Scott Bell may be the best book for plotting and creating structure in fiction stories that I’ve read. I have a few instructional writing books I reread; this is one of them. Plot & Structure works for writers who don’t use outlines and for those who do. Throughout Bell acknowledges and addresses how his ideas about plot and structure can be used by all writers. This isn’t a “my way or the highway” kind of book. Bell gives practical advice for all writers. What’s so great about Plot & Structure? The biggest plus is Bell’s practical and down to earth strategies and clear explanations. Here are the other greats: Bell’s approach isn’t a how-to formula; it’s more of a guide. His genre is thrillers, but he addresses the needs of other genres as well as those of literary fiction. He provides many strategies writers can use to approach plot and structure; plus, he encourages readers to find their own way of working. The exercises at the end of the chapters are practical. If you try some of them, you’ll discover that they aren’t busywork but helpful approaches to solving writing issues. Unless you’re a pro with so many publications behind you that you don’t need help, this isn’t a book to read once and put away. It’s a book you’ll come back to and get more out of with a second or third reading. If you want a formula or step-by-step program, this isn’t a book for you. He gives choices so you can find you own style and way of working. Which is one of the things like I about the book. It’s like going to a writer buffet and choose the strategies that work for you. If you are someone who writes without an outline, you are going to be surprised because Bell doesn’t leave you out of any of the equations. He has strategies for all writers.
