Rare Low Production Bulova Academy Award "Z" wrist watch!! In 1949 the Academy Awards granted a license, for 4 years, for Bulova to produce an exclusive line of watches which could be marketed under their name starting from 1950 to 1954, this was to cost Bulova $154,000 to use just the name and emblems associated with the Awards and nothing else.... !! Just a short year later in 1951 when Bulova tried to stretch their rights by advertising the watch as an "Award Winning Design" The Academy sued them with "perpetrating a fraud" arguing that Oscar's symbolic value had been diminished because people would assume that due to being advertised as “Award Winning Design”, Bulova had earned an Oscar for "best watch design". Due to this lawsuit, the Bulova Academy Award Watches were also named “the Law Suit watches”. The Academy aligned with the Federal Trade Commission to break its contract with the Bulova company two years early, making the short production run of 1950 & 1951 Academy Award Bulova watches “VERY” scarce items. These Academy Award model watches have been VERY popular with watch collectors and film memorabilia collectors alike. Most Academy models always have ribbed dials known as the “Golden Curtain” dial. They are always 21 Jewel movements; they are always dated to 1950-1951. Due to extreme low production, the men’s Academy Award watches in original boxes, have been known to reach $2500 at auction.
