The Bulova Story

In 1875, a young Czech immigrant named Joseph Bulova set up shop in New York City, and a legendary American watch brand was born. Bulova was trained as a jeweler, and his expertise carried over into his watchmaking career, which began around 1911 with boudoir clocks and pocket watches, and soon evolved to include what was then one of the latest and most fashionable technological innovations: the wristwatch.

Bulova introduced its first line of wristwatches in 1919. The company grew and prospered, and soon early radio and television ads were declaring, "America runs on Bulova time." In the 1950s, continuing its legacy of innovation, Bulova introduced Accutron, the first electronic watch, and the first breakthrough in timekeeping technology in over 300 years. The Accutron timing mechanism was later adapted for use by NASA computers and a Bulova timer was even placed on the moon to control transmissions of data. Bulova timepieces have kept official time aboard Air Force One and have also served as official timepieces for U.S. Olympic teams.

Today, Bulova maintains its tradition of excellence in technology and design, offering a diverse collection of beautiful precision timepieces for every occasion.

I bought this watch as a gift for my husband. He actually recieved two watches this year, this one for his birthday, and a Seiko Kinetic for Christmas.
He really likes the Bulova! It's a casual watch, the carbon fiber accents on the band and around the face are really stand-outs! He wears it to work every day, he's a General Contractor, so it takes a beating! So far, no damage, not even a scratch! He has gotten LOTS of compliments on it though!
I shopped around for this watch and found it in local jewelry stores for as high as $585.00. I paid a fraction of that here at Amazon.
Excellent Price! If you've been looking for a casual Bulova at a great price...this is the one!!!

This is a very high quality watch. It can go with dress clothes ,business casual or jeans. The carbon band really adds to the style. I have had one for 6 years and it keeps perfect time. This one was for a gift and it was a great gift.
