Bulova Manual Wind Watch with Original Octagonal Box

[@inabluemoon2023] Once in a blue moon 青月選物 proudly presents~ Bulova Manual Wind Watch with Original Octagonal Box Founded in the United States in 1875, Bulova began producing its own table clocks and pocket watches in 1911. By 1912, a dedicated watchmaking factory was established in Bienne, Switzerland, laying a cornerstone for the brand's quality. During this period, Bulova garnered significant support from American consumers. In 1920, the company relocated to Fifth Avenue, setting up an observatory on the top floor of its building to track celestial bodies for precise timekeeping. This marked the first-ever astronomical observatory established atop a skyscraper. In 1923, the company was formally reorganized and renamed Bulova Watch Company. At this time, Bulova perfected standardized watch parts, allowing for the interchangeable assembly of components within the same watch model. This item is a rare, excellent condition pre-owned mechanical watch from an older collection, kept as new old stock. Its manual winding mechanism embodies the romantic spirit of a bygone era.
