Harry Henshel

Harry B. Henshel (February 5, 1919 – June 29, 2007) was an American businessman and the last member of the Bulova family to head the Bulova Watch Company, as president, chairman and chief executive officer.

Personal life Henshel was born in New York City on February 5, 1919. The couple had four daughters. The Henshel family moved to Scarsdale, New York, in 1951. By the mid-20th century, Bulova was the largest American maker of luxury and middle market watches.

Though Bulova was known as a luxury watchmaker, Henshel attempted to target the budget market soon after becoming president of Bulova. Henshel signed an agreement with Citizen Watch Co. of Japan in 1960 to create a line of inexpensive watches which were marketed under the Caravelle brand name. He was survived by his wife, Joy, four daughters, and four grandchildren.
