1930 Gruen Vintage Techni - Quadron (Rolex Prince) Watch, 14K Gold-Filled

Angaben zum Objekt

NAMED ONE OF WATCHPRO MAGAZINE’S “HOT 100” - THE TOP 100 INFLUENCERS OF THE U.S. WATCH INDUSTRY. HOW CAN WE SERVE YOU? We’re new to offering our carefully curated collection on 1stDibs, but we have sold over 10,000 fine watches and exceptionally served thousands of customers with a 5.0 star rating on other online sites. 1930 GRUEN Vintage Techni - Quadron (Rolex Prince) Watch, 14K Gold-Filled - Doctor's Watch Very Fine Timepiece - Collectible & Original - 1 Year Warranty Without question the most iconic Art Deco Rolex is the Prince, universally celebrated for its unsurpassed quality and elegant style. Appropriately named, it was the perfect accompaniment for prominent doctor's, business financiers, or any man with discriminating personal taste in timepieces. Made not only in the same factory as the Rolex Prince, but on the very same production lines was a virtually identical wristwatch, the Gruen Techni-Quadron. Our photos show a comparison to the case and movement of a Prince. For a number of years after the company's founding, Rolex had no manufacturing capability of its own so the company received its movements from Aegler, a superb Swiss watch manufacturer partially owned by Gruen, Rolex, and the Aegler family. Because of the large number of Aegler shares held by Rolex and the Gruen brothers, the full name of the manufacturer for a time was actually Aegler, Societe Anonyme, Fabrique des Montres Rolex and Gruen Guild A, translated "Aegler, Limited Company, Manufacturer of Watches for Rolex and Gruen Guild A". The Aegler family used their workshop to produce a large number of movements for Rolex, most notably for the Prince series, as well as for this special wristwatch sold by Gruen. "Why was the identical watch sold as both a Rolex and a Gruen?" The answer is quite simple: when the watch hit the market in 1928, Rolex was still a London-based company selling almost exclusively in the British Empire and Europe. They had no distribution facilities in the United States, then as now, one of the largest markets in the world. Aegler had invented the watch and put time and money into it. They wanted to recoup their investment from as large a market as possible, and so Gruen was given the 'franchise' for the United States. These were the only markets anywhere in the world worth selling an expensive watch to." - Explanation courtesy of Hess & Dowling, The Best of Time - Rolex Wristwatches, an Unauthorized History. The rare Gruen Techni-Quadron featured in today's offering is a striking original example of one of these fine wristwatches. While Techni-Quadron's are all uncommon, this one has a rare case with factory done pebble texturing on the twelve and six sides of the bezel. It is very cool with a memorably distinctive look. Here are a few of its features: * Possessing a long, stylish case and an ultra-high quality mechanism, these wristwatches set a standard of the day for refinement and accuracy, performing very well in European chronometer tests * Powered by the legendary caliber 877 mechanism, manufactured by the Aegler family in Biel, Switzerland, used in these Techni-Quadron and Rolex's Prince line of watches * Extremely high quality movement design featuring an oversized winding barrel and balance wheel. By placing this two mechanisms at opposite ends of the movement the watch achieves incredible levels of accuracy and carries a longer power reserve, enabling it to run longer and more accurately on each wind * Curved, long and elegant case make it appropriate for both casual and dress wear. This example has extremely cool original pebble texturing. * Larger, peripheral seconds dial insures the hour and minute hands never obstruct the view of the seconds, perfect for taking a patient's pulse and for technical uses * Striking Art Deco original dial with a slight two-tone color for the center of both dials Its thickly plated 14K white gold filled case is in near mint. Much of the time these cases have been polished so that the gold has worn through. That's not the case with this one, which shows very little signs of previous polishing and no gold wear. Its iconic duo-dial face, which has a wonderful Art Deco style, is original and untouched. One of our Master Watchmakers has disassembled it down to its last screw and cleaned and oiled it. Note the numerous hand-etched markings inside the case back showing a very extensive service history. We have also timed it on a machine that simulates it being worn on the wrist. It is keeping accurate time. For the finishing touch, we have equipped it with a brand new crocodile strap making it ready for immediate enjoyment. Included with the purchase is a one-year C.O.T. international warranty on the movement and its function, a full-page custom printed Connoisseur of Time Certificate of Authenticity, and a new timing certificate. This is an opportunity to own an exciting historical timepiece on par with coveted Rolex Prince watches.
