Product Description

From the Crystal Collection. Boxed set with pendant in stainless steel with 123 crystals from individually hand set on silver-tone case, bracelet and heart-shaped pendant, white mother-of-pearl dial, flat mineral glass, and jewelry clasp closure.


In 1875, a young Czech immigrant named Joseph Bulova set up shop in New York City, and a legendary American watch brand was born. Bulova was trained as a jeweler, and his expertise carried over into his watchmaking career, which began around 1911 with boudoir clocks and pocket watches, and soon evolved to include what was then one of the latest and most fashionable technological innovations: the wristwatch.

Bulova introduced its first line of wristwatches in 1919. The company grew and prospered, and soon early radio and television ads were declaring, "America runs on Bulova time." In the 1950s, continuing its legacy of innovation, Bulova introduced Accutron, the first electronic watch, and the first breakthrough in timekeeping technology in over 300 years. The Accutron timing mechanism was later adapted for use by NASA computers and a Bulova timer was even placed on the moon to control transmissions of data. Bulova timepieces have kept official time aboard Air Force One and have also served as official timepieces for U.S. Olympic teams.

Today, Bulova maintains its tradition of excellence in technology and design, offering a diverse collection of beautiful precision timepieces for every occasion.

So Beautiful and Thank you for the Greatest Price
I saw this watch at Kays and feel in love. On sale it was just under $300 my hubby said he isn't buying it lol...so, I went on Amazon and found mine as Used but in new pristine condition for $100 I bought it for myself. I was nerves it would not be that new or a fake but, it is legit and beautiful. Came in Bulova box with pamphlet. Had the scratch guard clear rubber sticker on Face and Back. I checked how to spot a fake I am confident that I got VERY lucky and found the watch for close to $200 less. It has the Blue tip on crown, numbers are raised and hands are in layers..I am very very happy. I only had one other expensive watch a Citizen after 7 years I lost it when I sprained my wrist and had to get a wrap at the Doc's do not know if lost their or feel from my purse. I think left it their at Doc's and who ever found it kept it 😥I have not had a watch for 2 years. So happy to find such a BEAUTIFUL one at the AWESOME price. Thank you to the seller. Thank you so much.

Reviewed in the United States on August 22, 2016
It's a great looking watch and have received a lot of compliments! Clasp was a little tricky to get on and off in the beginning, but I'm used to it now and it's easy. Haven't worn it in rough conditions yet so I can't say much to the crystals coming unglued and falling off like other reviews have said. Overall so far, I'm very happy with purchasing this watch!
