Bulova’s story begins in 1875, when Czech-born Joseph Bulova decided to open his own jewelry store in New York.
His initial creation of clocks and pocket watches soon evolved into wristwatches; and in 1919, Bulova introduced to the public its first line of jeweled watches for men.
The brand has distinguished itself as a maker of precision timekeeping tools since the 1950’s when it developed the world’s first electronic watch. This legacy of accuracy is still maintained up to this day, as evidenced by the construction and design of the timepieces that are currently being produced by Bulova.

The much-acclaimed Eco-Drive technology that was developed by Citizen is a testament to its commitment not only to innovation but also to environmental conservation.
With Eco-Drive, a watch does not require any battery since its power is sourced from light. This novelty is not the only one achieved by Citizen, however, since the brand also holds the distinction of creating the slimmest LCD watch as well as the first voice recognition watch.
These features, among others, are provided in many of the Citizen timepieces available these days, which range from rugged sports watches to the more formal dress watches.
