BULOVA ACCUTRON CLAIM TO FAME:
Bulova’s “Accutron” watches, first sold in October 1960, use a 360 hertz tuning fork to drive a mechanical gear train to turn the hands. The inventor, Max Hetzel, was born in Basel, Switzerland, and joined the Bulova Watch Company of Bienne, Switzerland, in 1948. The tuning fork was powered by a one-transistor electronic oscillator circuit, so the Accutron qualifies as the first “Electronic watch”. The true accutron, instead of ticking, had a faint, high pitch hum which came from the vibrating tuning fork.
