NEW YORK – Bulova Watch Company and The Recording Academy announced a three-year partnership agreement, which centers on a range of products and activities.

Bulova has always had a direct correlation with the world of music, having aired the first-ever national radio commercial in 1926 and launching the first clock radio to the market. In 1960 Bulova introduced the humming Accutron movement with a tuning fork logo, which over the years has represented the very essence of the brand.

This partnership includes a GRAMMY-inspired collection of Bulova timepieces, as well as various live events to celebrate the impact music has on our collective culture. Over the next several years, Bulova and The Recording Academy will build a special “Moments in Time” activation which will focus on the unique “moments” in our lives punctuated by some of the world’s most iconic GRAMMY-winning music.

“We are honored to partner with The Recording Academy and to be part of the GRAMMY family,” says Jeffrey Cohen, president of Bulova. “Both music and time mark moments that stay with us.”

“I am thrilled by the coming together of these two iconic brands, both American born but with wide international recognition,” says Neil Portnow, CEO of The Recording Academy. “Together, in the years to come, we will create and celebrate timeless moments in music history.”

Retiring? Let Wilkerson Do the Heavy Lifting

Retirement can be a great part of life. As Nanji Singadia puts it, “I want to retire and enjoy my life. I’m 78 now and I just want to take a break.” That said, Nanji decided that the best way to move ahead was to contact the experts at Wilkerson. He chose them because he knew that closing a store is a heavy lift. To maximize sales and move on to the next, best chapter of his life, he called Wilkerson—but not before asking his industry friends for their opinion. He found that Wilkerson was the company most recommended and says their professionalism, experience and the homework they did before the launch all helped to make his going out of business sale a success. “Wilkerson were working on the sale a month it took place,” he says. “They did a great job.”
