Accutron Watch
Accutron was created in 1952 and was Bulova's answer to the upcoming electric watch trend. Bulova developed a tuning fork oscillator and by 1959 had completed production on a watch that was guaranteed accurate to within 2 seconds a day, or 1 minute a month. Accutron was finally introduced to the public in 1961, catching the world's attention with its unrivaled accuracy.
Baume Mercier History
In 1834, members of the Baume family founded the Societe Baume Feres in Le Bois. The Baumes had already been active in watchmaking for many years. At first, the priority went to enameled pocket watches. In 1844 Joseph Celestin Baume went to England to set up business relations there. Watches signed "Waterloo", "Diviko" and "Sirdar" opened distant markets in Australia and New Zealand. The family company gave convincing proof of its dedication to mechanical elegance and precision when one of its timepieces won the 1893 timing competitions at the Kew-Teddington Observatory with a score of 91.9 out of a possible 100. In 1912, William Baume met the watchmaker and jeweler, Paul Mercier, at the Geneva watch and jewelery shop in Haas. The meeting resulted in the signing of an agreement on the 26th of November, 1918, for the establishment of Baume and Mercier in Geneva. This proved to be a very successful enterprise, and in 1921 they were awarded the coveted Poincon de Geneve, official recognition of flawless quality products. Watches dating from this period are now rare collectors pieces, worth thousands of dollars. In 1937 William Baume withdrew from active business. He was followed into retirement by Paul Mercier, and the jeweler Constantin de Gorski joined the company
