Additional Information: The 1950 Bulova "Photo Watch" is a vintage men's dress watch known for its clever, concealed photo locket. The spring-loaded watch face "flips" or "pops up" to reveal a hidden compartment where a small photo can be placed. This design was marketed in the late 1940s and early 1950s as a way to carry a photo of a loved one.
About the brand: One of America’s foremost manufacturers, Bulova was founded in the late 19th century by Joseph Bulova in Queens, NY. The brand quickly established itself as a maker of high quality watches, and became fully ingrained in American culture - even producing the first ever television commercial. Known for models like their Devil Diver, Sea King, and the later Accutron models, Bulova is something of the un-sung hero of American watchmaking, and a treasure trove for a vintage collector.
