In 1952 Bulova began developing Accutron, the first fully electronic watch, promises to keep time to within 2 seconds a day. In 1960 NASA asked Bulova to incorporate Accutron into its computers for the space program. Bulova timing mechanisms eventually become an integral part of 46 missions of the U.S. Space Program. On October 25, 1960, Accutron was introduced. Accutron is a watch without springs and escapement, but is operated by an electronically activated tuning fork. In 1962, the Accutron Tuning-fork watch became the first first wristwatch certified for use by railroad personnel. An Accutron movement is part of the equipment placed on the moon by Apollo 11 astronauts, the first men on the moon. In 1976, Accutron quartz movement watches were introduced.
