Accutron Watches: What's with the tuning fork?
The Accutron watch was Bulova's original 'Tuning Fork' watch, hence the tuning fork symbol adorning every Accutron watch. Before the era of the quartz watch, the Bulova Accutron was the best battery powered watch in the world. In Accutron watches, an electric current was run through a tiny tuning fork which vibrated at a relatively constant frequency. That energy and constant frequency of that vibration was harnessed to power the watch, and the watches made a really cool humming sound.
We still receive calls asking about the tuning fork Accutron watches from time to time, but with the emergence of more accurate quartz watches in the 1970s, the Accutron Tuning Fork watch became a piece of watchmaking history.
