Bulova Watch Vintage
Q: I have what I think is a pocket watch vintage. His hands are blue and the word "ART" printed on the face. The front has a filigree design and the back is plain. The back says nothing really. It is gold.
A: No image to see it is quite impossible to date or to evaluate. Try to find on this site: http://www.prices4antiques.
Bulova watches were created with precision and accuracy for generations. The craftsmanship had a world wide reputation already in place by the time of the United States space missions. So it should be no surprise that one Bulova watch would become the watch of choice for 46 of those missions. NASA knew that this kind of excellence would be needed to keep time, and so keeping time on the moon became a part of the Bulova history. To wear one now is to join that tradition of excellence.
Most people carried only pocket watches. Only the rich carried them. It was a difficult sell to get people to wear watches on their wrists, but Bulova developed wrist watches that changed all that. The beauty of the watches encouraged change, and the better prices made it possible for the less wealthy to own them.
These famous watches represent success to many owners. Today, it is possible to buy them in a wide array of stunning styles for both men and women. The styling is so tasteful that the watches never are dated. Although collectors actively seek out older models, it can be difficult to tell the differences from year to year. The design work is classic.
The watches are well-proportioned to fit either ladies or men. The watch faces and bands are distinctive for both sexes. A woman can wear a lovely watch that looks like a bracelet, while men can wear men’s wrist watches that are stylish, masculine, and bold.
You can get an excellent overview of what the company has to offer by looking over the various collections on the official website. There you will also find a time line for the company, and its products beginning with the year that its founder arrived in New York from Bohemia. It is possible to compare price points for these watches by comparing website prices too. Many retailers carry the brand.
Originally, the watches were made one by one. Eventually, their mechanisms were designed with interchangeable parts. This forward looking invention guaranteed that nearly everyone would be able to afford one. It also promised that every watch would keep nearly perfect time. Anyone that bought one could keep time, and that is what mattered most.
