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.

This review is from: Bulova Women's 96R121 Mechanical Hand-Wind Automatic Clear Silver Dial Watch (Watch)

This watch was such a pleasant surprise. I was expecting a high quality watch but this Bulova automatic exceeded my expectations. It is absolutely beautiful. I am especially pleased with the quick release on the leather band. As I enjoy the look and feel of a well fitted leather band it is particularly nice to have the quick release for both function and reduced wear to the leather. The face of the watch is intriguing and I love watching the coordination of so many different parts producing a smooth movement through time...much like life. The parts may not make sense alone, but put all together they do bring about the desired outcome. I also love not being tied to a battery and battery replacement events. The Amazon link offered the best price when I made several comparisons on this model. I am very pleased and would buy this watch again in a hearbeat.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful Semi-Formal Watch, December 26, 2010

This review is from: Bulova Women's 96R121 Mechanical Hand-Wind Automatic Clear Silver Dial Watch (Watch)

This watch blends the shine of a dressy, formal watch with a subdued reddish brown leather band making it perfect for work or weekend. The gear action is wonderful to watch and the deployment clasp prevents the leather band from cracking as with traditional leather buckle bands. The only drawback is that the hands can get lost in the gears until you adjust to the watch.

The watch is gorgeous. It is not heavy and bulky like some of the other automatic watches; it aslo keeps it's charge very well overnight if you wear it for at least 8 hours in the day. Overall I am very pleased with this watch and hope to have it for a long time. Good job Bulova!
