Ever
wonder when and why watches stopped ticking and started humming? The
unmistakable tuning fork logo on every Accutron tells the story.The late
1950s, saw one of watchmaking's great advances when Accutron
launched a fully electronic watch that measured time with an
oscillating tuning fork,
creating a new standard for timekeeping
precision. To watch collectors throughout world that quiet whirr was
the first sound of the coming electronic age. Since then, Accutron
has been present at many defining moments of modern times. Including
the launch of the Vanguard I in 1958 and the first moonwalk 11 years
later.
