Accutron or Bulova          Uncle AJ's Rolex, Wrist Watch & Nature Forum Forum Index -> Other brands View previous topic :: View next topic   Author Message sfrattalatta Junior member Status: Joined: 24 Jun 2009 Posts: 8 Posted: Wed Aug 12, 2009 9:34 am    Post subject: Accutron or Bulova Hi everyone! Can anyone tell me what's the difference between Accutron and Bulova? I saw a watch from Accutron which I think is very nice and also as a good price. It's called Gemini. I wanted to know more about it and I looked for a Accutron website and I found out it doesn't exist really; seems like Accutron is a sub-brand of Bulova. Moreover I looked for this "Gemini" but the one I could find on Bulova website is completely different from the Accutron I liked! In the one I saw there is a small "hole" just below the 12 showing the inside of the watch, just to mention the most catchy thing, but they are really different! If you know more, thanks for sharing :) sfra Back to top uncle aj Keeper of lost marbles Status: Adrian Favourite Watch: TT GMT Ceramic Joined: 05 Aug 2007 Posts: 5015 Location: Work, Saudi Arabia..Home Bolton, England Posted: Wed Aug 12, 2009 9:43 am    Post subject: Re: Accutron or Bulova sfrattalatta wrote: Hi everyone!

Same make with a diff name. I have a Accutron VX automatic and an old Accutron Astronaut from the mid 60's Back to top GinGinD Junior member Status: Jeannie Joined: 14 Aug 2009 Posts: 6 Location: North Carolina Posted: Thu Aug 20, 2009 4:34 am    Post subject: I'm probably showing my ignorance here, but wasn't Accutron originally a tuning fork line?

Jeannie I think you are right, they were the forerunner of quartz watches.  A tuning fork vibrated around about 300Hz which at the time was a lot more accurate than a mechanical movement.  I had an Omega with this system but unfortunately it broke and I couldn't get it repaired. _________________ I'd feel lost without my GPS Uncle AJ's, an equal opportunity dictatorship.
