I'm not finding the His & Her Honor model names in any pricelists, though we do not have any pre-1954 lists. These models are also the highly advertised Maxim and Starlet, also seen together in this 1953 N. Carolina ad:
Are His & Her Honor Bulova authorized model names or perhaps promotional names?
In reply to I'm not finding the His & Her by Andersok
Yeah I agree.. only one I've seen. I'm betting a local promotion.
I've seen so many ads with the names wrong, I don't trust much in those ones.

Cool, Bulova American Goom is a new model we haven't seen before and a perfect partner for the 'American Bride' model.
I'd love to see these watches side by side as a set.
I know we have Unknowns of this watch... the 1952 "Hayward"... shoot I think I have one on here someplace.
