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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Elegant Timepiece, July 18, 2010

This review is from: Bulova Men's 96C35 Multifunction Black Leather Strap Watch (Watch)

I purchased this watch on my Honeymoon in December 2008. I must say that the images of it on the internet do not do it justice. This watch has a fine and unique look to it that adds to your confidence. I usually only wear it when I'm looking and feeling my best, it's that kind of piece. Some of my favorite aspects of it are the shape of the casing; the crystal actually has a slight curve to it. The blue pointer hand on the day calendar along with Sunday being in that same blue adds a small pop of color to the face. As a graphic designer and photographer, I appreciate how the Bulova logo is placed in a 3rd of the frame. As another reviewer noted, the line pattern in the center of the face and Bulova logo on the crown are also great features on this watch.

My only complaint is that the numbers for the date of the month are very small. What adds to this disadvantage, is that the dates are shown in a number then dot then number pattern. This only adds to the difficulty of reading the date. But, this does not detract from the beauty or value of this piece in my oppinion. At least the date is on there to begin with, which is something I always look for in a watch.

This timepiece almost reminds me of a classic automobile. It's a combination of vintage and modern styling and definitely worth adding to anyone's collection. In my oppinion, it's one of Bulova's most unique and attractive, recent offerings.

This review is from: Bulova Men's 96C35 Multifunction Black Leather Strap Watch (Watch)

This is a beautiful watch, perfect size, desing and weight! I'm a collector of watches and with no doubt this is one of the best adition to my collection.

The face of the watch is a very very light silver tone (almost white) it has vertical stripes which gives a very fine look, if you take a look at the first picture show by amazon the face looks tottaly white which is not totally accurate.

This bulova shows the day of the week on the left side with a blue handle which looks very fine, the indicator on the right side is the date, a little bit small numbers but not a huge issue, and below is the 24hr indicator with little screws on the sides which are a very nice detail. The bulova sign is on the side knob wich is anothe nice detail on all bulova watches. The strap is from good materials.

Overall if you are looking for a very nice watch this is a great selection.
