Challenging t.mes
-honored Traditions
In 1875, Joseph Bulova opened his first store on Maiden Lane in New York City’s original Diamond District. Bulova was a Czech immigrant with big dreams and grand horological ambitions. He saw gaps in the flourishing watch market and knew mathematics and a clever approach to chronograph development could lead the way. Talented and entrepreneurial, Bulova would go on to standardize the mass production of watches—a move that changed the world of t.mes
keeping. The company would go on to change history in other ways, as well. Its Moon Pilot Chronograph was the first privately owned t.mes
piece to reach the moon.

pieces. The company’s Accutron design became famous for its faithful measurements, which use a resonating tuning fork to regulate t.mes
keeping. This technology proved to be a more mechanically sound and precise operating model than those used by its contemporary counterparts. This dedication to accuracy has extended to other Bulova creations, including the photo t.mes
r, which is used to track runners’ finishing t.mes
s.
