About the Item

FACTORY / HOUSE: Gruen Watch Company STYLE / REFERENCE: Art Deco / Pulse Watch METAL / MATERIAL: Gold Filled CIRCA / YEAR: 1925 DIMENSIONS / SIZE: Length 34mm X Width 13mm MOVEMENT / CALIBER: Manual Winding / 7 Jewels DIAL / HANDS: Original Sterling Silver with Kiln Fired Enameled Printing / Blued Steel Hands ATTACHMENT / LENGTH: Adjustable Black Cord Band / 7 7/8 Inches or 20cm WARRANTY: 18 months on the movement LIFETIME SERVICE COMMITMENT This is a rare watch, in fact it is the only example we have ever seen. A ladies Art Deco, "Dr's" Pulse watch which was likely supplied to a nurse. Based on its serial numbers it predates 1925, making it perhaps more than 100 years old. Yet we just serviced it and functions is if it was brand new. The large sub-seconds dial at the lower half allows for easy reading of the seconds to take a heart rate. Which suggests it was a nurses watch. You can wear though all the time and count on it, even if you do not need to take a pulse.
