Bulova Watches Women: Always The First In Luxury And Dependability
Joseph Bulova, a poor Bohemian immigrant who in 1875 opened a small jewelry store on Maiden Lane, New York City, probably never foresaw the watchmaking empire he was starting. From Europe, Joseph brought old world craftsmanship and skill. In the new world he used his creativity and entrepreneurial skills to build a world class enterprise. From making Bulova mens watch, to inventing new ways to keep track of time, the history of the Bulova Watch Company is a fascinating study.
No one can dispute the excellent reputation of the Bulova Watch Company and the brand recognition of their name. Perfecting the art of time keeping by introducing dramatic new watch works, they simply redefined the art of watch making. Today Bulova watches can be found in stores and bazaars around the world.
Over the years the Bulova watch portfolio has expanded to include solutions for timekeeping needs. Incorporating 130 years of watch making expertise with the changing needs of society, they were able to provide a menu of options for individual tastes, lifestyles and budgets. From simple but accurate wristwatches used in World War I to exquisite jeweled pieces, the watch was transformed from a useful tool to a beautiful piece of jewelry.
One line in the portfolio is the Accutron. Designed with a contemporary feel and sophisticated styling, the Accutron was developed in the 60's and has the ability to maintain accuracy within 2 seconds per day. The first watch to use electronics to keep time, it is the most amazing enhancement in timekeeping history since the men's sports watch. This watch had no springs to break and it is operated with electronic batteries. President Lyndon Johnson was so enamored with this watch, that he declared it to be a Gift of State and presented it to visiting dignitaries.
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.
Joseph Bulova never imagined that his early watches would lead to a clock whose internal workings were directed by signals sent from orbiting satellites. In 1968, the first in the world public clock was installed atop a skyscraper in Mexico. The Mexican President took great pride in this event. A clock run from space! What an achievement.
The years between 1875 and 1975 were years of war and peace, of terrible depression and great uncertainty. Those years presented us with new inventions that allowed man to fly and then to fly into space. Inventions that allowed us to listen to music and speeches from around the world and then to see these speeches, and singers and entertainment. But through the upheaval and new discoveries the one thing we could always count on was the reliability of the Bulova watch.
