@watchdesignco: In 1960, time stopped ticking. ⌚️🛑 The Accutron didn’t rely on a balance wheel. It hummed at 360Hz. It powered spacecraft instruments. It redefined what accuracy meant before quartz ever arrived. For this episode, I’m breaking down one of the most important technological shifts in wristwatch history, and the piece featured comes from @nicholsonmiller (1k event). What he sent surprised me. This isn’t just a story about a watch. It’s about electricity, the space race, and the moment the future first touched the wrist. Correction: It was Commander David Scott's Speedmaster crystal that popped off, not Gus Grissom's, who then wore his personal Bulova Lunar Pilot Chrono for the rest of the Apollo 15 mission. #Accutron #vintagewatch #TuningFork #WatchHistory #watchtok @bulovawatch

Love this!

Quinn’s Watches :

Bulova’s 262khz precisionist movement has an amazing sweet too. I wish Bulova would throw away half of their catalog. They have too much junk, but they also have some bangers

Nicholson Miller :

Thank you very much for the video! I am honored to have my collection shown with a history behind it. I actually got that crater dial for $7.50 haha, my most recent pickup I got for $80 and that was the Champagne one. Keep up the great content, I love that accutrons are becoming more and more popular. The Accutron community is a great place to be.

axehacker :

Are vintage Accutrons a problem? Like does that tuning fork or vibrating parts commonly wear out? Hard to service?

DE HAAN :

Nooo! I did not need a new watch obsession. This is so cool! 🤩

My father had a gold one. It was a skeleton one. I liked the whine it made. Nice watch. I don’t know what happened to it. I wish I had it.

Is the movement in my Longines Ultronic the same as Bulova's Accutron?
