Does the Bulova symbol have a meaning?
When Bulova innovated the tuning fork-based timekeeping mechanism, it was the most accurate timekeeping mechanism to date. Bulova built much fame and fortune on it. The logo represents this tuning fork. If you ever look at photos of the innards of a Bulova watch, you can see the logo is identical to this tuning fork.
Why are there 24 60-min hours in a day instead of 10 100-min hours?
Because our system of timekeeping goes back to the solar days used in the Babylonian Empire, which used a base-12 (duodecimal) system of counting. This system was, in turn, based on the solar year which, with its 365.25 days, was most easily predictable with a counting system based on multiples of 12, which the Babylonians eventually evolved. The zero, which is necessary for a 10-based system (decimal) was not invented in mathematics until about 1000 years later. It would not work for the calendar, because of the number of days in the year, but a timekeeping system of days with 10 hours, 100 minutes and 100 seconds would work fine. Each second would be about 15% shorter than our current second, but figuring out things like how many minutes in 143.6 days would be a lot easier. This has been suggested, but like the current metric system would take many years and cost billions of dollars to deploy worldwide.
