BENRUS HISTORY
Founded in New York City in 1921 by three brothers, Benjamin, Ralph, and Oscar Lazrus, the Benrus Watch Company quickly grew from a watch repair shop into a major American watch manufacturer. The name "Benrus" is a portmanteau of Benjamin Lazrus's name. The company became well-known for producing reliable and stylish watches, which often used imported Swiss movements in cases assembled in the United States. Benrus gained significant recognition for its military-issued timepieces during and after World War II, with models like the DTU-2A/P and the Type I and Type II watches becoming legendary among collectors. Despite its success, the company faced challenges from the quartz revolution in the 1970s and eventually filed for bankruptcy, leading to a series of ownership changes over the following decades. Today, the brand continues to exist, with a renewed focus on reissuing its classic and historically significant models.
This watch comes with a complimentary spring bar tool to adjust the bracelet for your convenience.

This great looking Art Deco Watch was produced by the legendary house of Gruen. The watch is dependable and easy to service. In the 1930's, we became Gruen agents in Los Angeles California. Gruen was a great company to work with because they had a large collection, great styling, they were innovative and offered great service to their customers. This is the only example of this watch we have ever seen. It is sad that they could not, like so many other American Watch Companies, withstand the Swiss and Japanese marketing.
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, wristwatches, and chronographs. Gruen watches were
known for their high quality and stylish designs, and they were
popular with consumers for many years.
In the 1920s, Gruen was one of the largest watch manufacturers in the United States. The company employed over 1...
