Questions About Gruen Pocket 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.

    To date a Gruen wristwatch, look for a serial number on the back of the timepiece. Present on many of the maker's watches, this number can be cross-referenced with trusted online databases to determine roughly when your watch was produced. If your timepiece has no serial number, you can research the caliber number on its movement. Should you still find yourself unsure of the age of your watch, consider consulting a certified appraiser or experienced dealer. On 1stDibs, shop a diverse assortment of Gruen watches.

    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.

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.
