Bulova Watch: A Watch That Keeps Time on the Moon!

The interesting history of Bulova watches can be traced back to the 19th century New York where it was invented by Joseph Bulova. At present it is a part of the American-owned and operated Loews Corporation.

Joseph Bulova used to run a jewelry shop and started the production and selling of boudoir and desk clocks, along with fine pocket watches from the year 1911. In the year 1919 first full line of men's jeweled wristwatches was introduced by his company.

It was followed by the launching of full line of ladies' wristwatches in 1926 that was a pioneering effort in watch industry. The credit of introducing industry's first line of diamond wristwatches also goes to Bulova.

In the 1950s, as a result of dedicated research, Bulova was able to develop the Accutron technology with tuning fork movements that revolutionized the whole concept of timekeeping. It was the first electronic watch and NASA invited the company to take part in the space program to enrich the computer related researches. As a result Bulova's Accutron timing mechanism became an integral part of space technology and a Bulova timer was placed on the moon surface to control the transmissions of vital data through the years.
