Horological Meandering

Accutron Thursday

 

Just on my wrist, my first vintage watch.

I do not what to think, but it is something real different than i thought.
A kind of battery powered watch that is not like a quartz a death watch without feeling.
It looks it have a soul, so that’s why my Bulova is a whole different experience than i know from watches. It hums, so very electric.

I looked at a range of manny Bulova’s, and it is my plan to collect some more.
I want to ad a Spaceview and a Sinatra. But i know also the exclusive Accutron limited edition.
So new watch spice to keep my watch future fresh.

Here my Rail Road in full regalia. A special Thursday, that’s for sure.
Year 1967. Two years before the first moon walking. While it is known, an astronaut from Nasa walked on the moon with a Bulova, when his Speedmaster had difficulties.

Timeless. And i discovered it is like the watch that stood model for the WatchProSite app, but than without the crown at 3 hour. Look at the hour hand, it is the same! 😎

Thank you Nico.

Not only our Accutron HEO, but if i buy a car, i recognise i would drive a C class 250 prestige with moonroof. I consider a Spaceview, albeit a vintage Breitling Aerospace is on my menu. Zumm Weems

Accutron’s keep on looking. A pleasure to see. The back with the two rounds where always on my list to have. It makes the case like a coin. The same with the Piaget Altiplano with integrated crown. I hope you find a place to service your collection. I bou...

Get a battery, and let your tune fork sing. This day i watched video’s about the Accutron Spaceview 2020. Honestly, it is cool electrostatic energy tech, but i realize a Accutron with tune fork is better the way i use watches. I am a beginner, so i know n...
