WHY IT IS IN OUR MUSEUM? It is a rare and excellent preserved of the first electronic wristwatch -- Bulova cal214 Accutron.
WHY WE LOVE IT? The Accutron was presented in late 1960 and the cal214 tuningfork-movement was the first electronic watch -- obviously a revolutionary concept, superior to mechanical watches and the first step on a road to highest precision. Here in whitegold and the early version before (!) the legendary Spaceview-Skeleton.
The completely original and beautiful preserved example comes in super-rare whitegold case with twisted lugs.
The M1-stamp indicates it was created in 1961. The movement was serviced right now and is in excellent and precisely running condition.
