century On January 10, 2008, Citizen bought the Bulova Watch Company for $250 million. Currently Bulova designs, manufactures, and markets several different brands, including: the signature "Bulova", the stylish "Caravelle" (formerly "Caravelle New York"), the dressy/formal Swiss-made "Wittnauer Swiss", and the "Marine Star". In 2014 Bulova ceased the sale of watches under the "Accutron" and "Accutron by Bulova" brand, eliminating some Accutron models and subsuming others under the "Bulova" brand. In 2010, Bulova introduced the Precisionist, a new type of quartz watch with a higher frequency crystal (, eight times the industry standard ) which is claimed to be accurate to ±10 seconds per year () and has a smooth sweeping seconds hand like automatic watches rather than the typical quartz watch seconds hand that jumps each second. From 2012 to 2015, Bulova produced a line of Swiss-Made watches known as Accu•Swiss, which took the place of the previously discontinued Accutron line. Accu•Swiss itself was discontinued in 2015 at the direction of Citizen. In 2019, Bulova reissued the Computron brand, preserving the size and appearance of the originals, but updating the internal electronics. The new Computrons were made available in chrome, gold, and black, the first two colors being what had been used for the originals. In 2020, Bulova relaunched the Accutron brand.
