About the Item

FACTORY / HOUSE: Gruen Watch Company STYLE / REFERENCE: Art Deco / Curvex METAL / MATERIAL: Yellow Gold Filled CIRCA / YEAR: 1940's DIMENSIONS / SIZE: Length 40mm X Width 22mm MOVEMENT / CALIBER: Manual Winding / 17 Jewels / Caliber 440 DIAL / HANDS: Factory Original Silvered Dial With Black Arabic Numeral Markers / Gilt Hands ATTACHMENT / LENGTH: Leather, 14mm / Regular Length WARRANTY: 18 months on the movement LIFETIME SERVICE COMMITMENT This great looking Art Deco Watch was produced by the legendary house of Gruen. Done in the Curvex Style, this is a rare model which we seldom see, and this one has a flawless original dial. 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. It is sad that they could not, like so many other American Watch Companies, withstand the Swiss and Japanese marketing. It is shown with both a black and brown strap for your consideration. This is a "vault find" watch, it has been locked up for nearly 50 years, which means it needs a service. We will give it a factory quality service by our finest watchmaker as part of the purchase price before it is shipped out to you. This will delay shipping for a few days of course. 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 1,500 people and produced over 1 million watches per year. Gruen watches were sold all over the world, and they were worn by a number of celebrities, including President Dwight D. Eisenhower and Elvis Presley.
