I personally have a very deep affection for the Amazing Bulova Accutron.

Here are three really interesting web-sites you're sure to enjoy...

Never saw a 218 Spaceview.

Very interesting.
Thanks for posting this Lindell.

...clean!, classy! and concise! are the three words that come to mind...thanks too Lindell for the link; I learned a lot about a great WW...Jim C

I had a brand new 1975 model 214 Accutron when I was dating my wife. The only complaint she had was that the 'whistling' sound emitted by the watch tuning fork drove her nuts, so I traded it off. The Accutron's kept great time, but sure were quirky wrist watches. I was always afraid I was going to knock it against something and break the mechanism. It's the only watch I've ever owned that made me nervous when I was wearing it. (grins) Regards. Mark Cross

I sure have been wanting to get a nice SpaceView, great looking for a WW......

How hard is it to get parts for these watches? Are they hard to service?

Is there any reliable, clear account of the development of electronic time-keeping in the 20th century, both technologically and from the manufacturing/watch company standpoint?

This seems a quite interesting subject.

I have a booklet titled "The history and Development of the Quartz Watch" by Benjamin Matz.

The price on it is $14.95 and it is a very comprehensive history covering nearly every aspect of electronic or battery driven watches.

This is my Bulova Accutron given as a gift in 1967. it has an M7 date stamp on it. I love the watch, but can't sleep with it on, because the loud humming of the tuning fork keeps me awake :-). It still runs great; no idea of its present value.
