Bulova, founded in 1875 in New York by Bohemian immigrant Joseph Bulova, began as a jewelry business and expanded into clocks and wristwatches, becoming renowned for innovations like the Accutron tuning fork watch and pioneering the first radio and television advertisements. The company contributed timekeeping instruments to the U.S. space program, with Accutron movements used in spacecraft clocks while Omega watches were worn on the moon, and has been operated by Citizen Watch Co. since 2007. Benrus, founded in New York in 1921 by Romanian-American Benjamin Lazrus, evolved from watch repair to manufacturing and military timepieces, introducing self-winding watches and steering wheel clocks in the 1960s, but faced repeated bankruptcies and ownership changes, eventually being acquired by M.Z. Berger; it has recently repositioned as a lifestyle brand amid legal disputes over trademark licensing.
