Bulova, founded in 1875 in New York, was one of the pioneers of the tonneau-shaped wristwatch in the 1920s. In the late 1980s and 1990s, Bulova re-issued its iconic tonneau dress watches as a tribute to the Art Deco era. This Reference 13090 is one of those elegant re-editions, housing one of the most legendary ultra-thin manual wind calibers in horology: the Swiss Peseux 7001.
