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 Very elegant and comfortable watch, August 4, 2007

I wanted a more "grown-up" watch for work. I have always had a sport watch. This is still water-resistent and sleek. It is very expensive looking, but not too flashy. I had the diamonds tested by my jeweler, and they are real. The band is comfortable, and the clasp is hidden on the inside of the band giving it a uniform look. It goes with everything. So comfortable I can sleep in it. The price was awesome for this great watch. Well worth retail price, but why pay when Amazon offers a steal of a deal for a great time piece. It is always great to get a "steal." Thanks.

5.0 out of 5 stars Love it!!, September 16, 2009

This review is from: Bulova Women's 96R24 Marine Star Diamond Accent Watch (Watch)

Out of all my watches I love this one the most. The picture does not do it justice. I get compliments on it a lot. Anyway I have had it for almost a year and I am still in love with it. I would really like to buy another one just in case Bulova stops making this model, but I am saving up for an ESQ.

It is hard to tell in the picture but the face is subtle mother-of-pearl. The diamonds really sparkle in the light.

When I shop for something, I really shop. This watch was everything I was looking for at a price that couldn't be beat. It was delivered when promised. What else could you ask for?
