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.

Lovely watch. No complaints at all and I think it'll look beautiful for years.
The vendor, Luxi, though leaves a lot to be desired and I mean a lot.
The first watch they sent me had no battery in and the clasp wouldn't work. In addition, they sent it with a warranty card that said it was only enforceable with the number on teh card, except the card was blank! So I couldn't risk going to have someone put a battery in, only for them to reject any potential damage or origianl intrinsic damage to the watch.
Tried to email them through the link on Amazon and for 3 days, no response.
Finally I got a response and though I asked for an exchange, they processed a refund and I had to purchase it again.
Second watch, well at least it works, but still came with blank warranty card and no invoice so enforcing it is hard.

I mean really, the person who replied said "I'm so surprised this is so unusual, but that's so unlikely to be true.
I mean what are the chances it happened the first two times ever from their company, to the exact same customer!!?? Close to nil.

So be careful with the company, especially for an expensive purchase like this.

I have been wanting this watch forever and a day. It just looks so sophisticated. When it came in the mail I was so happy. It is so beautiful. I have shopped around at different jewelry stores and no one would budge on the $575.00 price tag. Amazon has the best price and they really do take care of you. I do have to get it sized which will cost me about 10 dollars at a watch store but It was well worth the wait. Would recommend to anyone!

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely Gorgeous, November 20, 2008

I received this watch as a birthday gift, it is absolutley beautiful. The style is different than most other watches and I am particular about a black face. I wear rather dainty watches usually and although this watch is larger than I would usually wear, it is very pretty and very classy. The diamonds don't have as much "fire" in them as I would like but it is the nicest watch I have owned and I am very pleased.
