Wow, this is the only example we have ever seen from the last breath of air of the legendary house of Charles Frodsham. Frodsham was one of the British Horologists that built chronometers for navigation and his were renowned for their accuracy and dependability. The watch is all original, including the dial and the finely blued hands. It is still fitted with its original period strap as well, which is too fragile to actually use however.
The original case was made by Dennison, England's premier case maker. We have never seen this model before and will likely never see another one of them again. It is probably the last watch produced in Great Britain.

This great looking Art Deco Watch was produced by 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 large collection, great styling, they were innovative and offered great service to their customers. 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
