I had one my Brother has it now. Bulova never intended to sale this watch. It was to be a display for the accutron movement but people went nuts for it, so Bulova sold them. I remember when they first came out....
My dad got one new, promised it to me but never gave it to me (hocked it in his old age)... I went out and bought my own; loved it as a kid and listening to it hum.
We don’t realize how awesome these videos are. If the world doesn’t end by then we will be watching RE-runs of these 10 years from now and saying wow I wonder if I could find one of those watches.
I have three tuning fork movement watches. They are a blast. A good Spaceview will go close to $1000. These are tricky to work on and you really need someone with the right knowledge and tools to do it properly.
What was the principle of operation? Who wore these watches? Why was this movement developed? It was running, did you hear anything strange or feel anything when holding it. How about laying it on a hard surface when running. Hear anything?
A good place to start is the great guitar player named Tony Rice, he made his own versions of this watch with a vibrating tuning fork...in his basement ...G...
