THE �TV� WATCHThroughout the 60s and 70s television programming blossomed and infiltrated American households like never before with families often gathered around their TVs. Accutron�s 261 watches represented this cultural shift as the brand designed many timepieces inspired by the space-age look of TVs at that time with the 261 boasting a big bold linear cushion shape with an organic exaggerated domed circle in the center. Coinciding the world of art was transforming with movements such as Pop Art Conceptual Art and Minimalism taking lead. The brand inspired by these movements brought to life these designs in their timepieces that would then transcend generations. The highly coveted 261 watches from 1971 are some of the most commemorated and were known as the �TV watches.� Today the 261 Legacy collection timepieces return offering a retro look with a modern twist.
