Bulova Womens Watch

Brand History

The Bulova brand was born in 1875 when a 23-year-old immigrant from Bohemia (Joseph Bulova) opened a watch shop in New York City. His goal was to revolutionize the watch industry by creating highly-accurate designs that can fit both men’s and women’s attire.

In 1912, Joseph Bulova opened one of the first factories focused on producing watches, and managed to standardize the mass production of timepieces. As such, by 1931 he already had launched a line of watches for men, one for women, the first electronic clock, and had installed an observatory to make sure his watches deliver time with accuracy.

In 1960, Bulova changed the way the world used to keep time, by creating the world’s first fully electronic watch (the Accutron). Furthermore, the Accutron was an integral component of the technology used for 46 NASA missions, including the first lunar landing.

Today, the brand is well-known all over the world and is owned by the Japanese conglomerate Citizen Watch Co.

Bulova Watch Buying Guide

Technology

One of the reasons Bulova watches are held in such high regard is their accuracy. These watches are usually fitted with Precisionist-class quartz torsional resonator (Bulova’s proprietary design), automatic, and quartz movements. The Bulova Precisionist movement was dubbed the world’s most accurate Quartz movement that features a continuously sweeping second hand. The move was developed by Citizen, after they took over the brand, and features an oscillator that vibrates at 262,144 times per second – eight times as faster than a standard quartz crystal. Moreover, the oscillator has three prongs that allow it to function as a torsional resonator. This means that the movement is more of a twist than a back and forth vibration. Furthermore, a Bulova watch battery is most likely a LithiumIon model that can be replaced without needing to reset the time. To take things one step further, Bulova took their proprietary UHF Quartz Precisionist chronograph movement and bent it. The result is a new type of movement, with a frequency of 262 kilohertz. This is now known as the CURV collection, where you can find all sorts of designs with prices quite affordable for their features. Overall, Bulova is the type of watch brand that keeps on looking for new ways to improve their products (both the mechanism and the design).
