In China, when it comes to Patek Philippe, many people know that this is the table king! And when it comes to Rolex, OMEGA is Chinese table friends in the eyes of the popular brand, and the world's ten largest watch brand, although not by heart, but also can say about. But globally, watchmaking brands are more than just these.
Like Bao Luhua, who was founded in 1875, many people seem to have heard of it, but can not say one or two. So the story about its tuning fork and the work it once worked for the CIA should be even stranger.
In fact, the tuning fork also belongs to the ranks of electronic watches, but the birth of the tuning fork should be ten years earlier than the quartz watch that caused the shock of the industry. In the fork table, Bulova should play a pioneer role in. But some unfortunately, Bulova tuning fork watch was clearly not the famous Hamilton, and these two brands are Made In The USA.
It is really forgot to introduce, in the domestic China less well-known Bulova is by an American Bohemian immigrant Joseph Pauluwa (Joseph Bulova) was founded in 1875, the company was named "J. Bulova company", and in the reorganization in 1923 as "Bao Lu Hua watch company".
But we do not know it is understandable, because the company in 1979 and became part of the Loews Corporation company (referred to as Loews, is a holding company and its subsidiaries engaged in the sales of watches, electrical appliances and kitchen utensils, hotel business, cigarette manufacturing and sales, property insurance, casualty insurance and life insurance business, offshore oil and gas drilling, cigarette brand Kent and Newport is the company's products).
Bao Luhua developed the tuning fork as early as 1952, and in 1960, Accutron (Zhen Chuang, Bao Luhua's still living watch series), tuning fork. Although it is somewhat different from the quartz watch, it is also a clock by electronic time, which guarantees the daily error within 2 seconds. Don't know for the first time in the history, whether the quartz movement after birth brought inspiration; if yes, the world is really wonderful!
There are now thousands of beautiful women, and the watchmaking world has a three hundred - year tuning fork. And there are gimmicks...... No, it's got a potential. The tuning fork has also been spotted by CIA, the CIA in the United States, earning its own money. At that time during the cold war, the United States and the Soviet Union, who did not speak to whom, while also competing with each other.
The CIA A-12 reconnaissance aircraft at the time (and the SR-71 blackbird reconnaissance aircraft prototype) and its Project OXCART (ox cart program) was at the time of the old as an advanced, then advanced aircraft ace will wear the most advanced Po Huayin fork table.
The A-12 reconnaissance aircraft used titanium as the main body material, although it was produced by the Soviet Union, but this is not important! The important thing is that in the course of the flight, the body will heat up rapidly and produce enormous heat, and the traditional mechanical watches may not be able to adapt to such conditions. Therefore, a suitable for the watch is very important, this is like custom Bulova, A-12 reconnaissance aircraft and agree without prior without previous consultation of the cia. Perhaps, this is the fate of the arrangements!
Bao Luhua's tuning fork didn't last long until it was released from the stage, and the coming storm made it hard for the world's watchmaking makers to suffer. With the revival of mechanical watch, quartz watch is gradually recognized, also did not form a large table fork climate, today is also Po Huayin fork table collectors have!
