Parking Meter-Inspired Timepieces

The Bulova 'Parking Meter' Chronograph Has a Retro Style

— July 14, 2022 — Fashion
The ultra-stylish but slightly unorthodox Bulova 'Parking Meter' Chronograph has been revived by the brand to offer discerning timepiece aficionados with a retro accessory to add to their collection.

The timepiece is characterized first and foremost by its distinctly shaped subdials, which combine to form the shape of the namesake parking meter. The watch boasts a bullhead style and boasts top-mounted chrono pushers and a down at the six-o'clock point to reinforce the distinct form of the accessory.

The Bulova 'Parking Meter' Chronograph has a tachymeter inner bezel ring and a deep-set main dial within its stainless steel case, which measures in at 43mm. The high-quality quartz timepiece boasts a silver, blue and orange color scheme to give it a slightly sporty finish that's also inherently retro.
Trend Themes
1. Retro Timepieces - Offering vintage-inspired designs to consumers who appreciate a chic and unique accessory for their collection.
2. Customized Chronographs - Providing the opportunity for watchmakers to create timepieces with distinct shapes and features that cater to specific consumer preferences.
3. Innovative Watch Bezels - Introducing new materials and designs to watch bezels that enhances their features beyond time-telling, such as the tachymeter inner bezel ring of the Bulova 'Parking Meter' Chronograph.
Industry Implications
1. Fashion Accessories - Offering limited-run or customized timepieces that appeal to fashion-conscious individuals or collectors who want unique accessories to complement their style.
2. Watchmaking - Providing new opportunities to create and market retro-inspired timepieces that add a fresh take to traditional watch designs using an unconventional form or material in watchmaking.
3. Automotive Accessories - Incorporating automobile-inspired elements to timepieces, highlighting unique and creative ways to incorporate auto-inspired aesthetics in more products outside of the automotive industry.
