First electrical watch (The Elgin Grade 725) in 1952. People, at the time,
were looking for something more accurate than mechanical watches and the
electric watch.
The Bulova Accutron Limited Edition Spaceview 214 utilizes a defining
movement. It is a handmade replica of the original Accutron Calibre 214, the
world’s first electronic watch without springs or an escapement, which operated
by an electronically activated tuning fork. Instead of ticking, it hummed.
On June 19, 1953, Bulova registered a patent registered under number 312290
as the first prototype of a tuning fork watch which started running and
eventually became fully operational in 1954.
