Gruen White Gold-Filled Art Deco Cushion Shaped Watch from 1931
By Gruen
Located in Long Beach, CA
FACTORY / HOUSE: Gruen Watch Company STYLE / REFERENCE: Art Deco / Cushion Shape METAL / MATERIAL: White Gold-Filled CIRCA / YEAR: 1931 DIMENSIONS / SIZE: Length 25mm X Width 27mm MOVEMENT / CALIBER: Manual Winding / 15 Jewels / Caliber 115 DIAL / HANDS: Enamel Print Dial with Arabic Numeral Markers / Blued Steel Hands ATTACHMENT / LENGTH: Original Period Leather, Strap and Buckle, 16mm / Regular Length WARRANTY: 18 months on the movement This is a "vault find" watch, it has been locked up for nearly 50 years, which means it needs a service. We will give it a factory quality service by our finest watchmaker as part of the purchase price before it is shipped out to you. This will delay shipping for a few days of course. LIFETIME SERVICE COMMITMENT This great looking and dependable watch by the renowned house of Gruen is in nearly new condition. It is done as a classic cushion shape because it looks like a pillow cushion. The watch is all original, dial and hands with beautiful blued steel hands. The dial is done in Sterling Silver with Kiln Fired Enamel Printing and was produced by the legendary house of Stern Freres. Stern was the major dial maker in Switzerland at the time and supplied dials to the finest Swiss houses. In fact in the early 1930's Stern purchased the world's most famous watch company, Patek Philippe from the bankruptcy court. The Stern family still owns Patek Philippe today. If you cannot afford a Patek, you can own a watch with a dial by the owners of the company. And, you can wear this watch all the time for all sorts of occasions. The watch is fitted with what appears to be an original period strap and buckle. The strap is too fragile to be worn however but we offer the watch with a new Lizard Strap and the original buckle as well. Founded in 1894 by Dietrich Gruen. The company had their American base in Cincinnati, Ohio, and it produced a wide variety of watches, including pocket watches...

1920"s Art Deco Gruen Quadron 15 Jewel, Restored, 14KY Gold Filled
By Gruen
Located in Raleigh, NC
My shop was recently selected to supply vintage American watches for a premier movie starring some major actors and a world famous director. They were looking for authentic watches that would represent the time period from 1915-1926. I was selected because of my attention to detail and originality. It is a true story of events that took place during the 1920’s. This would of been a perfect watch style for the film. Gruen "Quadron Model 63" Men's Art Deco design wristwatch in 14K yellow gold fill, circa 1930. This Quadron model has a large stepped case with a recessed crown. It was priced at $52.50 in 1930. It is in excellent condition showing only a few tiny specks of brassing to the bezel corners and a little to the tips of the lugs. The case back is excellent and unengaged, it does have a tiny flea bite. Dial is very good. Case measures 38mm long and 24mm wide. The watch is powered by its correct 15-jewel Gruen grade 157 Quadron manual wind movement, just serviced and running strong. In years from the 1920s through the 1940s, the Gruen Watch Company of USA & Switzerland was one of the leaders in wristwatch design and quality, even working together with Rolex. In 1925, Gruen introduced the men's Quadron. Similar in concept to the women's Cartouche models, these were rectangular watches containing very high-quality 15-j or 17-j tonneau-shaped movements. A larger movement is generally more reliable and accurate, and is generally more rugged, than a smaller one of the same quality, so the Gruen Cartouche and Quadron, with their case-filling, purpose-built movements performed much better than the small, round movements used by most of their competitors at the time. Round movements were still used in the less expensive rectangular Gruen wristwatches...

Questions About Gruen Watches
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 13, 2024
    To tell how old your Gruen watch is, turn it over and examine the back of its case. Most timepieces feature two numbers positioned side by side or one above the other. The first, or top, number represents the caliber number, while the second, or bottom, number is the style number. Once you have the style number, you can cross-reference it with trusted online resources to determine its age, and learn more about your timepiece. On 1stDibs, shop a range of Gruen watches.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 16, 2024
    The story of why Gruen is called Gruen can be traced back to the brand's founder. When German-born watchmaker Dietrich Grün founded his company in Ohio in 1854, he was concerned that Americans may not be able to pronounce his last name since the "ü" is not present in English. As a result, he opted to spell Grün phonetically as Gruen. Explore a selection of Gruen watches on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertMay 5, 2023
    To identify a Gruen watch, look at the back of the case. Most timepieces will display a series of digits and then a hyphen or a forward slash followed by another series of digits. The first set of numbers represents the caliber of the movement, while the second set is the style number of the watch. Once you have located these numbers, you can use trusted online resources to learn more about your timepiece. A certified appraiser or antiques dealer who is knowledgeable about watches may also be of assistance in identifying your timepiece. Shop an assortment of Gruen watches on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 13, 2024
    Yes, some Gruen watches have value. Generally, the older timepieces produced by the American watchmaker tend to be the most valuable. Overall, the style, condition, rarity and demand for a particular watch will determine how much it is worth. For an estimate on a particular watch, seek the help of a certified appraiser or experienced dealer. Explore a variety of Gruen watches on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertMay 5, 2023
    Yes, Gruen watches are generally collectible. Although the value and demand vary from timepiece to timepiece, the watches are relatively rare, and there are many people who appreciate their character. Find an assortment of Gruen watches from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Yes, some Gruen watches are made with gold. Founded by Dietrich Grün in 1908, the Gruen Watch Company was once one of the largest watch manufacturers in the U.S. Guren watches are most famously associated with the James Bond films in the 1960s and early 1970s. Shop a selection of vintage Gruen watches on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertMay 5, 2023
    Whether Gruen watches are made out of gold depends on the timepiece. Generally, gold-toned watches produced by the American watchmaker feature genuine 18-karat gold plating. Plating is a thin layer of a precious metal applied over a base metal. On 1stDibs, shop a collection of Gruen watches.
