About the Item

The 1965 Men's Accutron 214 Spaceview Openwork Wristwatch was a revolutionary timepiece featuring cutting-edge tuning fork technology, setting a new standard for accuracy in the industry by Bulova watches. The Spaceview wristwatch was never intended for the public marketplace. Originally made an openwork skeleton watch for jewelers and watch sellers to show off the revolutionary electronic tuning fork movement to prospective buyers in shops. After being displayed in-store customers immediately began to request these display models for purchase, so Bulova added an hour-and-minute track for customers to be able to read the time for purchase. Without realizing it Joseph Bulova had created an absolute sensation, so the "space view" was born! Its open design showcased the mesmerizing movement, captivating watch enthusiasts with its intricate inner workings. Combining precision and elegance, the Spaceview Wristwatch became an iconic symbol of innovation and style, cementing its place in horological history, and is an early customer-made Skeleton watch. The original Accutron watch may be the most iconic timepiece ever produced by Bulova, but the company has a history that long predates it. The company was originally founded in New York City, by Joseph Bulova in 1875. Manufacturing and assembly took place in both Switzerland and New York, and Bulova was a constant innovator in both watchmaking and marketing.
