Sean's Thoughts:

If you know me, you know I love Accutrons. They broke the first time keeping barrier back in 1960 when Bulova invented the tuning fork movement that ran on sound from a battery instead of by a balance wheel from a mainspring. If anything captures the 60s, it can be summed up in this watch. A technological leap, a stylish and future forward design, and while all collective minds were focused on the space race, they named it the Spaceview. I love everything about it's story but that it is also an extremely accurate watch, still running 60 years later.
