Bulova’s Elizabeth Watch

December 2000




The Bulova 17-jewel “Elizabeth” model watch was named after Queen Elizabeth I of England, the first person to own a wristwatch. On New Year's Day of 1572, the Earl of Leicester presented her with “an armlet of gold, all fairly garnished with rubies and diamonds, having in the closing thereof, a small clock”.
