1955 Bulova Black Sunburst Automatic About Bulova Joseph Bulova started a small jewelry shop in New York City around 1875. In 1912, he launched his first plant dedicated entirely to the production of watches. At his factory in Biel, Switzerland, he began a mass production new to watchmaking. Think of Joseph Bulova as the “Henry Ford” of watches. Through standardized parts and visually distinctive advertising, Bulova made the wristwatch both popular and widely available to the American public. From 1922 through 1930, Bulova marketed 350 different ladies’ Art Deco watches, with at least an equal number of models for men. Distinguishing between different years and models is best left to—well, people who have the time and passion for that kind of thing. Bulova produced the first radio advertising broadcast in 1926, announcing the first beep in history: At the tone, it’s eight o’clock, Bulova Watch Time, an announcement heard by millions of Americans. By 1940, Bulova sponsored each of the top 20 radio shows in the US. Part showman and part innovator, Bulova built an observatory atop a NYC skyscraper to determine precise time, and the Accuton movement which used a tuningfork to regulate watch function. Perhaps, again, imating the automakers, Bulova experimented with different “lines” for different price points: Westfield in the 1930s and Caravelle in the 1960s were the more “modest” Bulova lines. The Citizen Watch Company (Japan) bought Bulova in 2008. Both companies are now part of the Swatch Group. About this watch Offered is a a Bulova “23” Black Sunburst that wants to show off! The “23” was considered a 1950’s cool showboat men’s watch. 23 Jewels in the 10BPAC movement placed it toward the top of the Bulova line. There is nothing that sounds like a 10BP auto wind! Arrrrrr. The L5 on the case dates it to 1955. Since I could date it, I elected not to open the case and disturb the waterproof seals. The model was advertised as shock resistant, unbreakable mainspring– one could argue that at 70 years old, that is a promise kept. 6 Adjustments heat, cold, isochronism, 3 positions. This piece features a black dial and rides a black diamond embossed leather band with plenty of life left. It would make a great birth year watch for grandpa. I have worn this watch over several weekends and find it to be comfortable and stylish. It is ready to gift in a period Bulova 23 gift box. About me I buy and sell a few old watches from the mid-1930s through the mid-1960s. I like Hamilton and the occasional Bulova. Sometimes I will venture into British watches (e.g., Ingersoll). I deal in mechanical and automatics. Like a tracker pipe organ (also an interest of mine) they are a combination of history, architecture, and machine: little art works. I confess to owning a Citizen for work use, but I generally eschew battery powered appliances. If the items in my collection seem similar, it is because I like aparticular style and function. I prefer real numbers on a watch face and need to tell time at a glance while speaking. I typically wear these watches for weeks, months, or years before selling them—ahh— to make sure everything works as it should. I am not just an eBay flipper. If I tell you a watch runs and keeps time: it runs and keeps time. When I make a buying mistake (oh, it happens) the watch goes to off to a professional watchmaker to be rebuilt and restored and, after my recoveringsome cost by wearing it, offered as such at a premium. All the watches I sell are intended to be ready to wear and giftable.
