This Bulova watch belonged to Elvis Presley . watch that once belonged to Elvis Presley .
Today , the company has more than 2,000 physical items like advertisements , books , memorabilia and packaging , in addition to 6,000 digital documents like scans of Bulova annual reports , catalogs , commercials , and images . If you look at the packages , names of the watch lines , and advertisements , you quickly begin to see the history of the United States unfolding in front of you . It ’ s clear that Bulova is an integral part of American history . If you have the opportunity to visit the Bulova museum at the Bulova offices in the Empire State Building , I highly encourage it ! Carl is extremely knowledgeable and passionate about his work . He is the encyclopedia of Bulova , he knows the ins and outs , the origins of everything , the timing , the advertisements , the why of this design or packaging , alongside a plethora of interesting anecdotes and charming stories .
If you want to learn more about the fascinating history of Bulova , I also recommend two beautiful books published by the brand . The first is “ Bulova , A History of Firsts ” and the second is “ Bulova , A Legacy of Innovation .” A lot of documents are also accessible via the Bulova and Accutron websites . I commend Julie and Carl for their amazing work to preserve the history of Bulova .
