Frank Lloyd Wright

BULOVA MEN’S PERFORATED PANELS FRANK LLOYD WRIGHT BURGUNDY LEATHER WATCH 97A192. Paying tribute to the legacy of one of America’s greatest architects, this Bulova men’s timepiece from the Frank Lloyd Wright collection celebrates the iconic architect’s Usonian homes. USONIA-a name derived from “United States of North America”- was the term Frank Lloyd Wright coined to describe his vision for a new affordable architecture that freed itself from European conventions and responded to the American landscape. Wright built around 60 Usonian homes and designed upwards of 140. The majority of these homes came with their own unique geometric elements utilized in clerestory windows, laylights, furniture, upholstery, and more. This collector’s watch features a 40mm gold-tone stainless steel case with a sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating and a rich burgundy leather strap, evoking the warmth of the Usonian aesthetics. The black dial is constructed in multiple layers with cutout markers inspired by the perforated clerestory panels in Usonian homes revealing a luminous white Super-LumiNova layer beneath, as well as red and gold hour hands and an additional hour indicator in Wright’s signature red, highlighting the current hour. The watch is powered by an automatic movement with 21 jewels and a power reserve of 42 hours. Honor the legacy of the unique works of one of America’s greatest architects with this Bulova men’s Frank Lloyd Wright watch, offered in a Bulova signature box with a special Frank Lloyd Wright storybook.

In 1875, just as America was entering its golden age of industry and progress, one visionary leader would rise to ignite a series of iconic moments in our nation’s history – and transform the way the world perceived time. Fueled by the era’s risk-taking ethos, Joseph Bulova presented one innovation after the next. Ultimately opening a small store in downtown New York City that would mark the beginning of his lifelong quest: to craft supreme quality timepieces for an ever-changing and dynamic landscape. With an unwavering drive for perfection, efficiency and precision, quality craftsmanship became the foundation upon which Joseph Bulova built his brand. But what fueled the brand’s continual progress was its spirit of invention – pursuing innovation and technology both within the timepiece industry – and beyond. Bulova’s industry innovations included everything from pioneering standardized production of watches to developing the first fully electronic watch with proprietary tuning-fork based technology making it at the time the most accurate watch in the world. But our breakthroughs reached beyond the world of timekeeping alone. Our pioneering spirit changed the face of marketing with America’s very first radio and TV commercials. We made advancements in the world of sports with the Phototimer, and even transformed transportation through collaborations with Lindbergh and on 46 NASA space missions. During the first moonwalk, a Bulova timer was even placed in the sea of tranquility. Re-iterating its longstanding dedication to history of firsts, the Precisionist collection was introduced in 2010. Intricately styled and infinitely accurate, with a continuous sweeping second hand. Most recently in 2016, the brand (quite literally) changed the face of the industry with the Curv collection – the world’s first curved chronograph movement. ALL PACKAGES ARE TRACKED AND INSURED.
