ACCUTRON                                                                                                                
Max Hetzel,  the Man behind the Invention      

A lot has been written about the legendary Bulova Accutron, the first electronic tuning fork watch, but it is difficult to find information about its inventor and about how this remarkable  timepiece was developed in the fifties.

This site aims to fill in some of the gaps. It tells the story of Max Hetzel and how he revolutionized the world of watches with this amazing invention.
