About Accutron
The Bulova Accutron has been referred to as the world's first electronic watch as it was the first to use a bipolar transistor. Initial development started in 1953 when a Swiss engineer, Max Hetzel, employed by the Bulova watch company, set out to create the most accurate timepiece available. The result was the Accutron, released in 1960, to much fanfare. The Accutron's innovative engineering included an electronic tuning fork design, which provided the most precise timekeeping of the era--so accurate, in fact, that Accutron Swiss movements were used by NASA for instrument panel clocks in Apollo spacecraft and equipped on satellites. Production of Accutrons with tuning forks ceased in 1977, but the name Accutron is still synonymous with high quality, technological innovation and Swiss accuracy.
