Frank Sinatra’s daughter, Tina Sinatra, adds, “No one respected time more than my father, he never liked to keep an audience waiting.

Bulova Frank Sinatra collection
Bulova’s connection to Frank Sinatra began in the 1950’s during The Frank Sinatra Show television program, also known as Bulova Watch Time, which the brand was the sponsor. The singer was also known to be a wearer of Bulova timepieces throughout his life. Paying tribute to the legendary performer, Bulova draws design inspiration from the 1950’s and 1960’s with unmistakable branding elements of the famed musician. The Frank Sinatra collection features an assortment of ten timepieces in a variety of case shapes and designs, each of which are named after some of his most beloved songs.
My Way
The first pieces are two tank-styles known as My Way. The novelty pieces are showcased in either a stainless steel or gold-tone stainless steel case.

I had the pleasure of seeing Sinatra in concert and on stage. Not only was he a great singer, the best of all, also was a great entertainer. I play his music in the house every Sunday.
never saw Sinatra in person who was and still is my all time favorite singer. I will try to put money together to buy a Bulova watch. Thanks for the memories of Frank.
Thanks John for your comments. We will be getting a sample for a hands-on review sometime in July, I think. Watch out for that!
