Bulova is a brand with significant historical presence and a number of notable watches in its back catalog.

Founded in 1875 in New York by Bohemian immigrant Joseph Bulova, it played a part in the United States status as a watchmaking powerhouse in decades past, alongside brands like Hamilton, Waltham, Elgin and others.

The brand is also well known for innovation like its 1960 Accutron tuning fork-based (the origin of Bulova’s logo) technology, and high-accuracy quartz movements have continued to be part of its persona.

Where are Bulova watches made?

Bulova was founded in New York and maintains its headquarters there, but like most modern companies, the picture is a little more complicated than those facts would suggest.

Despite its American origin, it doesn’t produce watches in the United States (almost no one does).

Owned by the Japanese conglomerate Citizen since 2007, you’ll find some models produced in Japan or Hong Kong while higher-end models have the Swiss-made designation.
