The present wristwatch is one of the exceedingly rare examples of a "doctor's" watch produced by Gruen in the late 1920s, Advertised as a timepiece for technicians and "radio and mechanical engineers"-anyone who needed to measure time in seconds, the calibre 877 movements were manufactured by Aegler in Bienne who also supplied movements to Rolex for their "Prince" model. Aegler, a very close neighbour to Gruen's Precision Factory, shared ownership during a time with both Gruen and Rolex, the full name of the company being "Aegler, Société Anonyme, Fabrique des Montres Rolex & Gruen Guild A". In 1930, Gruen sold their Aegler shares and moved the entire production to their Precision Factory in Bienne.
Preserved in extraordinarily crisp, original overall condition with all elements still retaining the factory finish, the rarity of this paragon of an Art Deco wristwatch.
The manufacture Gruen was originally founded in 1874 in Columbus, Ohio, by the German immigrant Dietrich Gruen. In 1903 a Swiss branch was founded under the name of The Gruen Watch Manufacturing Company, located in Bienne, Switzerland. The firm produced a wide array of wristwatches and was amongst the first watch manufacturers to introduce lady's wristwatches to the North American market.
