It’s hard to overstate the influence of the Bulova Accutron Spaceview among the great creations of the 20th century. Not only did it usher in a new era in horology, it also created a singular aesthetic language that would ripple far beyond the world of wristwatches, making its mark on architecture, fashion, and modern designers. Accutron celebrated this legacy last year with the release of the Spaceview 314, a modern evolution of the game-changing watch that maintains its space-age looks and signature hum. Accutron’s impact — technological, cultural, and philosophical — was the topic of Hodinkee’s recent interview with author, filmmaker, chef, and watch enthusiast Eddie Huang.
