Tuning fork watches (first sold by Bulova) use a 360 hertz tuning fork to drive a mechanical watch. The inventor Max Hetzel was born in Basle, Switzerland, and joined the Bulova Watch Company of Bienne, Switzerland, in 1948. This outstanding engineer was the first one to use an electronic device, a transistor in a wrist watch. Thus, Max Hetzel developed the first watch in the world that truly deserved the qualification "electronic": the world-famous "Bulova Accutron". More than 4 million were sold until production stopped in 1977.
They also made one of the first two-time movements ever to travel into space, a subject open to competing claims from the two companies involved - Omega and Bulova. The Omega Speedmaster chronograph wristwatch was designated by NASA for use by the astronauts in all manned space missions. This particular watch is still being made and is informally known as the "Moon Watch". So Omega can legitimately claim to be the first wristwatch in space. This article needs a whole section regarding the current Omega Models: De Ville, Speedmaster, Seamaster and Constellation; all with their features and uses. ...

However all the instrument panel clocks and time-keeping mechanisms in the spacecraft on those space missions were Bulova Accutrons with tuning fork movements.
