Accutron has decided to make the year 2025 a buzzer. The new Accutron Spaceview 314 not only revives the legendary tuning fork technology from the 1960s, but serves it up in gold, titanium and steel. It's not just a watch - it's a time machine in F major.
Forget mechanical mechanisms that tick like old wall clocks. In 1960, Accutron plucked up the courage to create something that smelled more like a NASA lab than a Swiss watchmaker: an electronic tuning fork mechanism that vibrates at 360 Hz. The result – the Accutron Spaceview 314. A subtle hum, running seconds, and an accuracy that was closer to science fiction than reality at the time.
Fast forward to 2025: Accutron not only revives this technology, but refreshes it with laser precision, a design that screams "vintage space chic," and details that would impress even Tony Stark.
Heart that beats: Caliber 314
This is not just a horological mechanism. It is a digital shaman – the Accutron Spaceview 314 – in analog clothing. Caliber 314 is the result of a decade of engineering Zen: a larger index wheel, now on the dial side, fully polished bridges, electrical wiring like in a Swiss railway, and – beware – an exhibition caseback through which you can observe the beating heart of the watch.
Design: Space aesthetics for earth bracelets
The Spaceview 314 comes in three flavors: stainless steel (for the urban knights), titanium (for the futurists), and 18k gold (for those who like their nostalgia covered in gold). Dials range from understated to totally open—literally, since the gold version is completely skeletonized. Straps? Italian leather, because we still appreciate a bit of classic.
Specifications: Less words, more facts – Accutron Spaceview 314
- Diameter: 39 mm – just right so it doesn't slip under your cuff, but still says "notice me"
- Thickness: From 13.25 to 13.4 mm – depending on how exotic you are
- Water resistance: 30 m – so not for diving, but enough for champagne
- Mechanism: tuning fork 360 Hz – hums better than your electric scooter
- Prices: from 5,990 $ (steel) to 31,500 $ (gold) – because history is not cheap
Limited? Not quite. Exclusive? Absolutely.
Although the watch is not strictly limited, it will be made in small quantities because a tuning fork is not something you can throw on an automated production line. Each piece requires the hands of a master craftsman and attention that is rarely seen outside of a sushi bar in Ginza these days.
Conclusion: This is not a watch. This is a horological manifesto.
The Accutron Spaceview 314 is a tribute, a reinvention, and an engineering manifesto. It's a watch for those who know that time is not just a number, but a feeling. And in this case – a feeling that buzzes.
