#BULOVA CLIPPER AUTOMATIC SERIES#

I have quite a few chronographs, dated as early as 1942 and continuing through the 1970s. You can find Bulova chronographs as early as the 1940s, including examples of the unusual single button chronograph (button is on the end of the crown), but most date to the 1960s and beyond.

Any chronograph, particularly those with a Valjoux movement, is considered pretty darn cool.

But beware, any of the Astronauts will thin your wallet, for sure. There's also a Mark II Astronaut that's pretty nice.

The Accutron Astronaut first appeared in the 1960s and has long been a favorite among collectors.

I have a few of these which can be viewed in the 1960s collection.

Any 1960's Accutron 214, though not particularly rare, makes a very classy gift, and every collection should have at least one.

The Wrist Alarm of the late 1960s is a favorite of many.

For more information about these great models, visit Bulova Beau Brummell Series I'm always happy to add one of these to my collection.

Most of the models have 23- or 30-jewel movements, and they all have diamonds on the dial. The Beau Brummell series of watches is a truly elegant line.For more information about the Bulova 23, visit Bulova 23 Series I have a few of these scattered through the late 1950s and 1960s listings. The 23 Jewel models are pretty easy to find, but the 30s are more difficult to get your hands on. In the late 1950s and continuing well into the 1960s, Bulova produced some 23 and 30 jewel models that are very fine pieces of machinery.Quite a few of the Presidents and several American Eagles are included in my collection under 1960. The asymmetrial American Eagle is an eye catcher, particularly the model with mismatched lugs. The 1960's Presidents and American Eagles are unusual and elegant watches, each of which had its own series with multiple variants.An examle of this model is in my 1950s collection. The 1950's Photo Flip Up is a magnificent watch (you flip up the top of the watch to show a picture of your dog.or whatever).You can see and read more about those models at Academy Award Models One or more of the 40+ "Academy Award" models from the early 1950s are a necessity for any serious collection.For a discussion of those models, visit Bulova Military-Themed Models There are many of those to choose from, but I particularly like the Blackhawk and Medical Officer, which you will find in my collection. The 1940s were also known for their military themed watches (not to be confused with actual military issue).Numerous examples are in my 1940s collection. The 1940s saw the advent of rose/red/pink gold, so, if you like that look-which has been back in style of late-you can find it in any number of models from that decade.

I have a couple of military issue models, which can be seen in the 1940s collection. You've got to really know your stuff here, though, or you might end up with a fake.

Some folks are really into the military issue models, many of which date to the 1940s, and those can demand high dollar if they are genuine military issue and correspond to a particular war (or what is it we sometimes call them-military conflicts?).

Both of these models can be viewed in the 1930s watch listings.

Also from the 1930s came the extraordinary President with "Wandering Seconds" and the Jump Hour, both marvelous watches to own.

You'll find examples of all three models in the 1930 listings.

If you like the 1930s style, the 1930 Sky King, 1938 Corrigan, and 1938 Rite Angle cannot be beat.

I'm a particular fan of the 1920s Ladies' Sports Models, a series which includes some beautiful watches with colored enamel on the bezel.

Several enameled models can be seen at Ladies' Models

Of the ladies' models, those with jewels or enamel on the bezel, particularly the colored enamels, fetch a high price and are, without doubt, stunning works of art.

Any of them would make a great gift or addition to a collection. A wide range of models throughout the decades were offered in solid gold. I have a number of these scattered throughout my collection.

Any model in solid 14k or 18k gold, regardless of age.

I have a pretty large collection from the 1920s, so you may want to check it out to see if something in particular strikes your fancy. These are getting harder and harder to find.

Any 1920s model in good condition (or able to be restored).
