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.
The world’s most accurate watch with a continuously sweeping
second hand. Most quartz watches are accurate to within 15
seconds/month. Precisionist is accurate to within 10
seconds/year.
From the Precisionist Longwood Collection. In stainless steel
with 10 diamonds individually hand-set on multiple-layer black
and gray dial, domed metalized crystal, continuously sweeping
second hand, luminous hands, , locking deployment buckle
and water resistance to 30 meters.
Precisionist Technology
-----------------------
With Precisionist, Bulova has added a third prong to a standard
two prong quartz crystal creating a torsional resonator. This
innovation results in eight times the vibration frequency of a
traditional quartz watch resulting in the most accurate watch
with a continuously sweeping second hand. The aesthetic movement
of the second hand becomes the symbol to the consumer of Bulova
Precisionist and signals a watch with accuracy so exceptional,
you can see it. The technology is accurate to 10 seconds per year
as compared to most other quartz watches, which are accurate to
fifteen seconds per month.

About Bulova
------------
In 1875, Joseph Bulova, a 23-year-old immigrant from Bohemia,
set up shop in New York City and a legendary American watch brand
was born. Since that time, Bulova has stood proudly in the
vanguard of timekeeping innovation, committed to the legacy of
creativity and excellence established by its founder.
A pioneering force in the industry, Bulova transformed how
watches were worn and how time was perceived, registering over 50
patents as he and his company built a record of creativity
including the first full lines of men’s and ladies’ wristwatches
(1919 and 1924). To ensure the utmost in precision, in 1920,
Bulova even established its own observatory – located atop its
New York skyscraper. With the same spirit of innovation,
following World War II, determined “to serve those who served
us,” Bulova established The Bulova School of Watchmaking, using
new and unique methods to train disabled veterans for positions
in the watch and jewelry industry. Then, in 1960, Bulova changed
timekeeping forever with the revolutionary Accutron, the world’s
first fully electronic watch. An integral component of U.S. space
technology, Accutron timing was used on 46 NASA missions,
including Apollo XI, the first lunar landing (1969).
Today, this dedication to creativity continues, with Bulova the
only brand to offer three distinct timekeeping technologies –
quartz, mechanical and Precisionist. One of the world’s most
recognized brands, Bulova continues to maintain its position at
the forefront of the timekeeping industry, upholding an
extraordinary heritage of achievement in design, style and
technology as it expands to meet the needs of a diverse global
audience.
