IN 1960

TIME CHANGED AS THE WORLD KNEW IT

A new innovation called electrostatic induction

In 1960, Bulova produced the epoch-making watch "Accutron", the world's first tuning fork electronic watch.In 2020, 60 years after that, we launched the new Accutron, Accutron Space View 2020 and Accutron DNA, equipped with a new innovation called electrostatic induction.

Accutron, a new brand with a passion for innovative invention and breakthrough technology, makes a spectacular debut.

In 1960, when mechanical watches were the mainstream, the precision of ±1 minute per month was truly shocking. It can be said that the fact that the timing device was adopted for the Apollo program of .
In addition, the unique design that exposes the interior has been highly evaluated. The watch with a full-skeleton dial, which is impressive with the green used to protect the board and the copper of the tuning fork coil, was named "Space View" and was loved by people as a design that symbolizes Accutron.

The design follows the concept of the first model

"Accutron Space View 2020" and "Accutron DNA" correctly inherit the DNA of Accutron, which shines brilliantly in watch history. It means inheriting the concept itself, not just copying the style. “ I had a special respectfor the original model.
, I borrowed the real thing from a watch collector, observed it, and placed the movement as high as possible, inheriting the innovative idea of ​​making the parts that should be hidden deep inside go up to the main stage. In addition, the top plate was designed to highlight the movement, giving a clear impression of a new electronic watch called electrostatic induction.

"The first model was one of the most important innovations in watch history. We believe that the electrostatic induction mechanism is a technology that is worthy of inheriting Accutron's DNA." increase.
However, because it was the first attempt in the world, there were many difficulties in commercializing it. We had to pay attention to aesthetics while calculating the amount of static electricity, motor drive, and power generation, so we had to design with precision at the microscope level. Skilled decorating techniques were required. Due to the characteristics of electrostatic induction, it is necessary to work in a low-humidity environment where dust and dirt tend to accumulate in order to charge static electricity.

Two lines of newly born Accutron with outstanding individuality

The new Accutron will offer 2 lines and 5 models: "Accutron Space View 2020", which gives a strong impression of the first model released in 1960, and "Accutron DNA", which is a modern update of the first model and creates a futuristic atmosphere. I'm here. Accutron, newly born after 60 years, brings surprise and excitement to the world once again with the world's first innovation of electrostatic induction mechanism.
