Welcome to the Accutron forum!

From AccutronWatch.com:

Offering the world's first fully electronic watch in 1960, Accutron changed the way the world told time with the most accurate timekeeping mechanism ever created and the first personal timekeeping advancement seen in 300 years.

Ruling the watch world for more than a decade, its foundational technology later became an integral component of America's space program and the Accutron logo became a symbol to the consumer of timekeeping accuracy.

Now sixty years later, Accutron returns and brings the same drive for technological advancement and design with the first ever watches powered by electrostatic energy.

It seems Accutron has separated itself from Bulova and is standing alone.  If you have had a Bulova account (authorized dealer) and wanted to add Accutron's into your showcases you would have been told by Bulova to contact your Accutron representative.  The transition into Citizen's fold was a bit painful, but now Citizen seems to be handing their subsidiaries template material.  I would probably do the same thing to save money.  But the Accutron marketing materials and processes should be familiar to anyone who has been working with Citizen (authorized dealer).

The older Accutron watches were nice. Not a fan of their new stuff.
