The Bulova Accutron was the world’s first fully electronic watch. Presented at the World’s Watchmaking Fair in Basel, Switzerland (later called Baselworld) in 1960, the watch incorporated a revolutionary new technology that utilized a 360-Herz tuning fork, powered by a one-transistor electronic oscillator, to drive the timekeeping functions rather than a traditional balance wheel. This technology ensured an oscillation rate of 360 times per second — nearly 150 times faster than that of a mechanical, balance-wheel-driven timepiece — and guaranteed an accuracy to just one minute per month. The Accutron was distinguished by its telltale humming instead of ticking, a sound generated by the vibrating tuning fork.
The first Accutron model, called Spaceview 214 and featuring its famous open dial showing off the high-tech movement, also deviated from traditional wristwatch design with its lack of setting stem and crown on the side of the watch: these elements were instead placed on the back of the case.
During the years, Bulova has produced numerous versions of its emblematic Spaceview model, with many different shapes, sizes, in stainless steel, solid gold or gold filled cases.
The brand was founded in 1875 in New York City, but it is not before 1911/1912 that Bulova to produce watches in its factory in Bienne/Biel, Switzerland, but with its main offices and customers in the USA. Pioneer of the marketing with many ad campains since the 1920s, Bulova Watch Company became worldwide famous in 1960 with the first electronic watch, the Accutron, a named formed by the words “ACCUracy “ and “elecTRONic”.
