Who has not heard of watches Bulova Adorning the wrists of men and women around the world, the Bulova brand is well recognized and very well respected. Over the years it has developed several different styles, each with its own brand name and own personality.
First created in 1875 by a young immigrant from Bohemia in a small New York City jewelry store, the Bulova brand has developed into a broad range of styles and prices. In those days, men carried pocket watches and women wore watches as pins. Wristwatches were for the rich and considered luxury items. Until 1911 Joseph Bulova designed and sold fine pocket watches and fancy clocks. It was not until World War I that wristwatches were seen as practical timekeeping instruments.
Between the years of 1875 and 1920, Joseph Bulova devoted himself to designing new styles of clocks and watches. He developed new mechanisms that would provide more accurate timekeeping, down to one-thousandth of a second. He was not satisfied with the beauty of the watch exteriors, but worked to create the most accurate timekeeping mechanisms known to man.
By the end of the First World War, Joseph Bulova and his Bulova Watch Company have produced thousands of watches worn by our soldiers on the battlefields of Europe. He presented a special commemorative watch to Charles Lindbergh when he completed his solo transatlantic flight in 1926. And as the twenties roared, the company presented the first National Radio Advertisement in 1926 at a Dodgers vs. Phillies baseball game.
They continued this trend of being the first in 1929 with the first clock radio and new methods for building car clocks. In 1931, they introduced us to the first electric clock requiring no more winding. These clocks adorned the walls of post offices, train and bus stations, airports and public buildings. The name Bulova could be found all across America.
Charles Lindbergh was a real fan of Bulova watches. The 1926 the Bulova Watch Company offered a prize of $1,000 to the first pilot to fly nonstop across the Atlantic Ocean. In 1927, when Lindbergh landed, he was given a special men's watches as a commemorative gift and then began appearing in advertising shoots until the late 1920's. The company also produced a special commemorative line of watches called the "Lone Eagle". The supply of 5,000 watches was sold out in three days!
Never forgetting their humble beginnings, the Bulova Watch Company was eager to work closely with our Defense Department to provide our soldiers and sailors military watches. During World War II they provided strong and accurate watches to our military, as well as mechanical devices for torpedoes and other armaments that required precision timing. Being a true patriot, the company would only charge the actual cost of production, making no profit on the war products.
The Bulova Watch Company has worked closely with the Defense Department to not only produce watches, but also fuses and torpedo mechanisms. In 1941 they adopted a resolution that all national defense products would be sold at actual cost. They worked with the government to produce military watches, as well as mechanisms for torpedoes and fuses. During World War II, 20% of all radio advertising was used to promote War Bonds and Stamps.
The culmination of Bulova's success has to be the fact that the NASA invited Bulova to use it Accutron technology into the computers being used by the space program. Bulova timing mechanisms were used in 46 space missions and its technology was used in the space capsules panels for the moon mission.
