Gruen Yellow Gold Filled Art Deco "Baron" Model Curvex New Old Stock

About the Item

FACTORY / HOUSE: Gruen Watch Company STYLE / REFERENCE: Baron / Curvex Series METAL / MATERIAL: Yellow Gold Filled CIRCA / YEAR: 1940's /50's DIMENSIONS / SIZE: 42mm Length X 23mm Width MOVEMENT / CALIBER: Manual Winding / 17 Jewels / Caliber 370 DIAL / HANDS: Factory Original Silver Dial with Gilded Arabic Numerals and Markers / Gilded Dauphine Hands ATTACHMENT / LENGTH: Original Lizard, 17mm / Regular Length WARRANTY: 18 months on the movement LIFETIME SERVICE COMMITMENT It doesn't happen very often, but every now and then I purchased a "New, Old Stock" watch. In this case I purchased this watch about 35 years ago and it has never been serviced either. The watch is shown with a modern strap, but supplied with the original strap and ticket. The original, while being new, it not practical to wear as it will deteriorate because it is so old. 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. Once this wonderful watch is serviced, you can wear it every day, and count on it, to get you there on time, every time. And, you will likely never see another vintage watch by Gruen as fine as this one.

LIFETIME SERVICE COMMITMENT 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.

The company had their American base in Cincinnati, Ohio, and it produced a wide variety of watches, including pocket watches, wristwatches, and chronographs.
