Bulova bold at heartThe company says that the partnership “is an organic evolution of the Bulova brand as envisioned in its most recent Bold at Heart campaign — a novel initiative highlighting watches, moments, and musical artists which epitomize the same radical authenticity, ingenuity and constant curiosity to pave the way for the future, all essential qualities of the brand since its founding by immigrant visionary Joseph Bulova in 1875.” 
 
“We couldn’t think of a more inspiring institution than the Apollo Theater, world-renowned for bringing people together to celebrate the best in music, theater, dance, and more,” says Jeffrey Cohen, President of Citizen Watch America. “We look forward to bringing the cultural and social message of the Apollo to consumers from all generations inspiring them to wear a timepiece representing both the history and future on their wrists and in their hearts.”
 
“The Apollo is the temple of dreams and ambition, a monument to tenacity and social revolution since it’s very first days of existence,” says Jonelle Procope, President & CEO. “We are delighted to partner with a heritage brand such as Bulova to highlight not only the greatest moments of our nearly nine decade history but also to celebrate the Apollo’s exciting chapters ahead.”
