The new Bulova brand
Bulova is a subsidiary of the Japanese conglomerate Citizen Holdings and manufactures watches in the USA and Switzerland. It became known, among other things, for its tuning fork watch, the Accutron. Joseph Bulova (1852 to 1935), an immigrant from Bohemia, set up shop as a watchmaker in New York in 1875, importing watch movements from Switzerland and installing them in cases he made himself. These activities led to the founding of his own factory in Biel, which Joseph's son Arde later ran and expanded considerably.
Wristwatches were increasingly produced there. Bulova made a great effort to keep rate deviation low and gave important impulses to the development of automatic wristwatches. What stands out in particular, however, is the tuning fork watch Accutron that followed. It also gave rise to the company logo with the tuning fork watch symbol. The Biel factory was closed in 1983, while the American Bulova Corporation continued to exist. The company Bulova Corporation was sold by its previous majority owner, Loews Corporation, to the Japanese company Citizen.
Our Bulova 98B229
Our watch of the week is a quartz wristwatch, the Bulova 98B229. This stylish men's wristwatch has a dark gray link bracelet and a stainless steel case. The dial is designed in great detail and the bezel looks as if it were screwed on. On the black dial, you can read the hours, minutes and seconds, and the chronograph also lets you measure and read the time. The indices are predominantly anthracite and white, while the blue luminous hands make it easy to read the watch. In addition, the watch is water-resistant to 30 bar, which corresponds to a depth of 300 meters. This Bulova men's watch is therefore an absolute all-rounder that also looks very stylish and distinctive.
