Product Description

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 Classic Good Looks, November 16, 2008

This review is from: Bulova Men's 96C38 Bracelet Day-Date Watch (Watch)

This solidly built Bulova men's watch is a classic. At about 43mm total width, it has heft but not so much as to be too big for smaller bones. The dial face is white with exquisite roman numerals which appear to glint from black to blue when moved in the light. Although the hands are luminescent, the application is very fine, and the hands do not hold their brightness for very long. If one wants a reasonably priced, dressy watch, this Bulova is sure to impress.

I have 5 watches in current rotation, and this is hands-down the nicest looking. Classy, well-built, and surprisingly durable, I can't recommend this watch highly enough.

I just got this watch yesterday, so it may fall apart tomorrow. Still, I had to come here to brag about how good it looks. The pictures don't do it justice at all. This thing shines, and the detail is great. My favorite part is the texture on the links. This is a great watch if you want just a little bit of flash. Plus, it's just big enough to be a "big" watch without making you look like showoff. I love it!


Update: December 11, 2010

I've had this watch almost a year now and still love it. I only have two watches, so I've worn this one a lot, maybe three times a week on average. I haven't been extremely careful with it, but it doesn't have many scratches at all. It still holds my interest. I'd still highly recommend this watch.
