A Brief History of Bulova <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Bulova was founded in 1875 by Joseph Bulova; a Bohemian immigrant in New York City. Initially, Bulova produced pocket watches and expanded into wristwatches in the early 20th century. The brand became known for innovation, especially with its precision and craftsmanship. In 1923, Bulova introduced standardised mass production of watches, ensuring consistent quality. The company also made history by airing the world\u2019s first radio commercial in 1926 and later the first television commercial in 1941.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of Bulova\u2019s most famous innovations was the Accutron, released in 1960. It was the world’s first fully electronic watch, using a tuning fork for unprecedented accuracy. This technology was also used in NASA space missions and contributed to Bulova\u2019s connection with space exploration; including their unofficial role in the Apollo 11 moon landing. Today, Bulova remains a respected name in watchmaking, celebrated for blending traditional craftsmanship with cutting-edge technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The vertical brushed silver-white dial features a magnified date aperture at 3 o’clock. As well as this, the dial exhibits polished silver-tone hour and minute hands, a bright blue sweep-seconds hand and silver-tone baton indices.

Moreover, a grooved coin-edge bezel and a stainless steel case frame the dial. Measuring 38mm in diameter, the retro TV-shaped case houses the watch’s high precision quartz Precisionist movement; a revolutionary 8-jewel quartz mechanism vibrating at a remarkable 262kHz.
