American designed and Switzerland handcrafted, Accutron is a proudly developed Bulova Watch Company. Accutron by Bulova was realized following the supposed necessity of the American armed forces for an enhanced standard of time. It was fashioned in 1952 and became Bulova’s response to the forthcoming trend of electric watches. They made an oscillator resembling the tuning fork and had finished the watch production by 1959. The watch is guaranteed to have a precision of 2 seconds per day or equivalent to one minute per month. The watch was launched in 1961, drawing the world’s interest with its unparalleled accuracy.
When CEO of Bulova at that period retired, all the research that was initially undertaken was completed by the Bulova engineers, continuing the operation in their own set laboratory. Although the concept of tuning fork was formerly established in clocks, no mass production happened. The first Bulova Accutron watches were presented in the market for public sale. That was the model named Accutron 214. This model was also the first watch to have been able to get certification as the official wristwatch of the railroad personnel, besides this watch was the only timepiece used by Air Force One aboard. Eventually, Bulova was asked by NASA to integrate its technology to the department’s space program paraphernalia. So then it was utilized in instrument timers and panel clocks. Nowadays, you will discover that all Accutron watches are Swiss-crafted, developing every part and movement that is of highest quality.
The balance wheel’s low frequency was the reason for the hopelessness of improving the accuracy of the regular mechanical watches. Consequently, the Bulova Watch Company Switzerland requested some Swiss engineer named Max Hetzel to study the possibility of applying higher frequency in watches. He was the first person to utilize a transistor in wristwatches; as a result, he built up the watch that was first of its kind in the world. This watch was considered worth it for its electronic nature, and now world-renowned as Bulova Accutron. This kind of precious watch has 360 oscillations frequency per second with a particular circuit that restricts the tuning fork vibration.
Each Accutron is combined with exceptional styling coupled with the latest technology in timekeeping. In the luxury watches empire, Bulova Accutron watches stand out by presenting the premium movement known as Swiss quartz, constructed in steel that are solid stainless, coordinated with the finest quality of straps, bracelets that are solid-link, finishes made from 23 karats of gold brushed with the superior plating technology and its water resistance feature where Accutron watches can be submerged up to 200 meters or 660 feet in the water.
A fundamental element of the United States’ launch of Vanguard paved way to the revolution of Accutron in the industry of watch making, launching the up-to-date timing system unswervingly to the buyers. In the present day, relying on this astonishing birthright, Accutron stays top in the technology of modern watch making.
Bulova timepieces are made with précised craftsmanship, from the luxury materials and modern technology to endure performance and quality.
