Its iconic Accutron tuning-fork watches were the first true electronic wristwatches, laying the foundation for the company’s exploration of high-frequency quartz technology today.]( THE JOSEPH BULOVA COLLECTION [Art Deco-inspired watches in the market today are, in a word, slim, a fact even more true at the entry-level price point. Enter Bulova and their recently launched Joseph Bulova collection. Here's the Commodore: a superb pre-war era-inspired watch, available with either a brown or black dial, and perfectly positioned for the roaring 2020s.]( [The star of the round silhouette is undoubtedly its unique, wire-inspired lugs directly recalling early wristwatch styles prevalent in the pre-war era. It's powered by the Swiss automatic Sellita SW200, complete with a 26-jewel count, 38-hour power reserve, and partial exhibition caseback.]( [With a uniquely shaped, eight-side polished steel case, the quadrilateral-adjacent silhouette of the Bulova Breton directly recalls Art Deco styles popular through the 1920s to '40s, while executed with Bulova's contemporary standards and abilities. Each Breton includes a decorative railroad track minute ring, as well as Deco-style printed numerals, and a Swiss automatic Sellita SW200 movement inside.Â]( [Image of Breton With Blush Dial]( [Breton With Blush Dial]( $1,050 [Image of Breton With White Dial]( [Breton With White Dial]( $1,150 THE ACCUTRON SPACEVIEW [Over sixty years since its debut, ACCUTRON returns, and it now stands alone as its own brand.
