most recognized brands, reaching a wide range of consumers
with its Bulova, Accutron and Caravelle watches, as well as
its award-winning Bulova Clocks. A subsidiary of Loews Corporation,
the U.S. owned and operated company is headquartered in New
York City. Over the past four years, with the acquisition
of the respected Wittnauer name, now functioning as a separate
entity under the Bulova corporate umbrella, the addition of
the Art of Time subsidiary to manufacture custom grandfather
clocks, and the reestablishment of proprietary operations
in Europe as part of new international operating strategy,
Bulova continues to consolidate its position as a leader in
the timekeeping industry.
