3 Reasons Why Bulova Clocks Are Widely Admired

The Bulova Clock family continues to stand out tall as it maintains the culture of producing some the most sought after clocks of all time. Ever wondered why these clocks continue to shine?

Excellence

The ever blazing clocks date back to 1875 when Joseph Bulova started out as an ordinary jeweler, then working from a small establishment located on Maiden Lane in Manhattan. Joseph utilized the engineering and artistry skills he acquired while an apprentice at Tiffany & Company.  Digging deeper into his ingenuity and artistic mind, he quickly made a name for himself as a distinguished master of distinct movements and brilliant designs. He was genuinely passionate about excellence, making up his mind to focus on quality as the foundation of every item he built. This very principle of excellence lives on till today, hundreds of years into modern times.

Remarkable advertising

Many of us may not be aware of what role advertising plays in influencing the audience towards certain brands. Advertising, when done well, has the potential to inspire immediate response from consumers and convert them into long lasting clients who will always admire the brand. This is exactly what  Bulova has done through the years by establishing itself as a robust creative force in crafting outstanding adverts. A good example can be traced back to 1926 when Bulova produced a captivating radio advertisement which reminded the audience that “At the tone, it's eight o'clock, Bulova Watch Time.” The announcement was heard by a massive number of American listeners and the impact was equally massive.  Bulova is also remembered for having created a stellar TV commercial, the world's first ever. It was shown on July 1, 1941, just before a base ball game featuring Philadelphia Phillies and Brooklyn Dodgers. "America runs on Bulova time", the commercial proclaimed.  The company continues to create sharp, intelligently crafted advertisements that go on to attract millions of people to the Bulova clocks.

Interesting Places to Hang a Wall Clock

Position Your Clock in a Creative Space

When it comes to hanging a decorative wall clock, many variables are at work. Factors include the type of clock, its function, and the room it is to be placed in. Modern and traditional wall clocks create noticeable differences when it comes to décor. The distinctiveness of a clock can restore an interior or exterior scheme, transcending its appeal. Here are some intriguing placement suggestions.

The Bathroom

Putting a clock in the bathroom maximizes often untouched wall space and serves as a time manager during those busy mornings. It doesn’t have to be ultra luxurious, just something simple and reliable. The goal shouldn’t be for it to stand out, but rather blend in quite conservatively. Guests will get a kick out of it.

The Top of an Etagère

This French furniture piece features a series of shelves that best display valuable ornamental bric-a-brac. The right clock - small, modern, wood – can greatly augment an étagère’s presentation if placed nice and neatly on the top shelf. Even the clock as a focal point of the fixture, right in the middle, works well.

The Outside Deck

Transform your deck into an outdoor room with a decorative clock. There are wonderful all-weather models that can provide a warm atmosphere and enhance a color scheme. The added character may even extend beyond your guests. A big enough clock, visible from the sidewalk simultaneously offers the passerby an aesthetic treat and the time.

Behind the Bar

Home bar designs provide great pleasure and are a fun way to entertain visitors. A big 36 inch wall clock, strategically placed, can add value to the dominating concept of your home bar. Aside from adding a great deal of refinement to the room, having the time readily available at any tavern, home or away, is convenient.

Clocks, contemporary or conventional, can work in to any room. It’s a matter of finding the right clock that fits the room, or altering a room the right way to fit a magnificent clock. Remember to balance the factors mentioned previously; clock type, its purpose, and the area.

We, at Expressions of Time, are family owned vendors of the superior clocks that will compliment your home accessories and bar fixtures (of which we also provide) in countless ways. Visit our website and learn more!

The Contemporary Significance of Clocks

How the clock is important in modern times

There is no denying that the clock is one of the most important gadgets in the history of civilization. It tells people what time of the day it is, a simple yet valuable duty. The term clock derived from a Greek term for the sound of a bell, because primitive versions would ring out like one every hour or so. In fact, most modern clocks still do, more noticeably chiming wall and cuckoo.

Time is important

We live in an age that puts a large emphasis on time. We cling to it. Consequently, the clock has become just as integral. Because of this, clocks are literally all around us. It is almost impossible to turn the corner without seeing a wall clock, clock radio, or decorative clock.

The Sun Dial

Every single clock today, whether it is a classic Howard Miller grandfather or a round Bulova decorative wall clock, originates from a single device – the sun dial. However groundbreaking the sun dial was, it had one major disadvantage, it could not tell time during the night.

Water and Pendulum

To combat the sun dial’s shortcomings, the water clock was developed to tell time after the sun set. These early contraptions were the staple for many years until the advancement of the pendulum clock. Early pendulum clocks offered near perfect timing and continued to progress. We all know a pendulum clock when we see one, like this beautiful Hermle Brooke mechanical regulator wall clock.

The Electric Clock

With the advent of electricity came the electric clock. Their motors run for days and do not require winding every six hours. Following suit were battery operated models, which prominently fueled alarm clocks before the cell phone developed. Some argue that alarm clocks do not contain the elegance of pendulum clocks, yet phenomenal models from Sternreiter promote a unique alarm clock-exclusive elegance. Where would we be without the clock. Equally as important as their time-telling function is the aesthetic value of a clock. The unique combination of function and visuals is an art form, so nowadays when you buy a clock, you’re buying art. If you’re looking to include a decorative clock within a room’s layout, take your time. We at Expressions of Time have a wide variety of beautiful clocks and fixtures that will take a room from mere space to a work of art.
