Watches Bulova: Always The First In Craftmanship And Reliability
Joseph Bulova, a poor Bohemian immigrant who in 1875 opened a small jewelry store on Maiden Lane, New York City, probably never foresaw the watchmaking empire he was starting. From Europe, Joseph brought old world craftsmanship and skill. In the new world he used his creativity and entrepreneurial skills to build a world class enterprise. From making vintage Bulova watches, to inventing new ways to keep track of time, the history of the Bulova Watch Company is a fascinating study.
The reputation of Bulova watches is renowned around the globe. From its exquisite craftsmanship to its unsurpassed time keeping accuracy (1/1000 of a second), these watch styles range from simple, everyday models to embellished gold and silver creations that rival any fine jewelry. Whether shopping in a big box store or a classy jewelry store on Rodeo Drive, you will find a style and price tag that meets your needs.
Expanding their gallery of brands and styles from the simple and inexpensive to include exquisite and expensive designs for the elite among us, Bulova has produced sophisticated and bejeweled examples of art with a functional side. Whether it is a stunning boudoir clock or a huge public electric clock on the wall of a train terminal, the name Bulova is immediately recognized.
One line in the portfolio is the Accutron. Designed with a contemporary feel and sophisticated styling, the Accutron was developed in the 60′s and has the ability to maintain accuracy within 2 seconds per day. The first watch to use electronics to keep time, it is the most amazing enhancement in timekeeping history since the men’s sports watch. This watch had no springs to break and it is operated with electronic batteries. President Lyndon Johnson was so enamored with this watch, that he declared it to be a Gift of State and presented it to visiting dignitaries.
Other firsts for the Accutron include their use by railroad personnel. In fact, it is the only watch certified to be worn by employees of the railroads. In 1960, NASA requested that Accutron technology be incorporated into their space program computers. It was used in 46 space missions. In 1967, Accutron clocks were the only clocks allowed on Air Force One.
In 1969 the Accutron watch movements were part of the Apollo 11 moon landing. It was this equipment that was left behind in the Sea of Tranquility on the moon that transmitted data back to earth for many years. These transmissions provided vital data to our scientists back on Earth.
In 1968, a public clock that would run on orbiting satellite signals was installed in Mexico. The Mexican President installed this magnificent time piece on the roof of the Torre Latino Americana, a tall Mexican office building. The clock continued to demonstrate its outstanding accuracy.
One wonders what Joseph Bulova would think today about where his Bulova watch have taken his small watchmaking company. From a small jewelry shop on Maiden Lane, New York City to the moon, from the streets of New York to the street of the world, the Bulova watches are loved by men and women around our world.

Bradley Beach $21.38 In the 1870s, James A. Bradley and William Bradner came to today’s Bradley Beach and began buying and developing the land, which consisted of miles of pine trees, sand dunes, and stunning beaches. By the early 1900s, Bradley Beach became a summer resort for people from North Jersey and New York City. The town was filled with beautiful oceanfront hotels that catered to summer visitors, who often came by rail. Holiday parades and spectacular fireworks were displayed to the delight of the seasonal visitors, encouraging them to come back year after year. With more than two hundred vintage photographs, Bradley Beach explores the history of this picturesque coastal community. The town soon became a popular destination, hosting many visitors, including actor Jack Nicholson, as well as authors Philip Roth and Bruce Edward Hall, who have both written about the experience of living in Bradley Beach. With views of beach calisthenics, the local train station, beachfront resorts, historic buildings, and the many summer festivities, Bradley Beach explores a town that holds on to its historic roots as it makes way for the growing numbers that come to enjoy its unique charm every year. |
