Founded in 1875 by a Romanian immigrant, Joseph Bulova, the Bulova Watch Company has risen to become an icon of American ingenuity and craftsmanship. Bulova watches have evolved from the traditional pocket watch of the early 20th century, to the first self-winding wristwatch of the 20th century. It was awarded to Charles Lindbergh when he soloed across the Atlantic and it has even landed on the moon! Wherever American history was being made, you could find a vintage Bulova watches!
The reputation of Bulova watches is renowned around the globe. From its exquisite craftsmanship to its unsurpassed time keeping accuracy (1/1000 of a second), these watch styles range from simple, everyday models to embellished gold and silver creations that rival any fine jewelry. Whether shopping in a big box store or a classy jewelry store on Rodeo Drive, you will find a style and price tag that meets your needs.
Expanding their gallery of brands and styles from the simple and inexpensive to include exquisite and expensive designs for the elite among us, Bulova has produced sophisticated and bejeweled examples of art with a functional side. Whether it is a stunning boudoir clock or a huge public electric clock on the wall of a train terminal, the name Bulova is immediately recognized.
During their history, the company has changed how we keep track of time. One example of that change was the introduction of the Accutron watch line. Introduced in the 1960's, the Accutron is the first watch to run on electric batteries, rather than springs which would frequently break. This is one of the most dynamic changes in timekeeping history. So excited was President Lyndon Johnson with this amazing new watch for men that he presented it to all his visiting dignitaries from around the globe.
The Accutron was certified by the railroad industry as the watch to be worn by all railroad personnel. This was due to its amazing accuracy in time keeping. NASA, the National Space Agency, used the Accutron technology into their space computers, using it in 46 missions to outer space. And Air Force One would only allow Accutron watches to be installed in the President's airplane.
For the Apollo 11 moon landing in 1969, Bulova provided the equipment that would be left behind to transmit data from the Sea of Tranquility. This equipment continued to send data to our NASA scientists for several years to come. It is hard to know how much knowledge we have gleaned from this data.
In 1968, a public clock that would run on orbiting satellite signals was installed in Mexico. The Mexican President installed this magnificent time piece on the roof of the Torre Latino Americana, a tall Mexican office building. The clock continued to demonstrate its outstanding accuracy.
