Bulova Watch Company
The Bulova Watch Company is an American company that was founded in New York City in 1875 by Joseph Bulova, who was then a 23-year-old immigrant from Bohemia. Initially, the company focused on making high-quality pocket watches and table clocks, but by the early 20th century, it had started to produce wristwatches as well.
In 1919, Bulova introduced the first complete line of men's wristwatches, which featured standardization of parts, interchangeable components, and a wide variety of designs. This made them more affordable and accessible to the average consumer, and the company became known for its innovation in watchmaking.
Over the years, Bulova became known for its precision timekeeping, and in 1927, the company became the first to sponsor a radio show featuring live time signals. The company also became known for its advertising campaigns, which were often innovative and featured celebrity endorsements.
Today, Bulova is owned by Citizen Watch Co. Ltd., and the company continues to produce a wide range of high-quality watches, including mechanical, automatic, and quartz watches. In addition, Bulova has expanded into other areas of jewelry, including diamond and gemstone pieces.
