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.

  • 1920"s Art Deco Gruen Quadron 15 Jewel, Restored, 14KY Gold Filled
    By Gruen
    Located in Raleigh, NC
    My shop was recently selected to supply vintage American watches for a premier movie starring some major actors and a world famous director. They were looking for authentic watches that would represent the time period from 1915-1926. I was selected because of my attention to detail and originality. It is a true story of events that took place during the 1920’s. This would of been a perfect watch style for the film. Gruen "Quadron Model 63" Men's Art Deco design wristwatch in 14K yellow gold fill, circa 1930. This Quadron model has a large stepped case with a recessed crown. It was priced at $52.50 in 1930. It is in excellent condition showing only a few tiny specks of brassing to the bezel corners and a little to the tips of the lugs. The case back is excellent and unengaged, it does have a tiny flea bite. Dial is very good. Case measures 38mm long and 24mm wide. The watch is powered by its correct 15-jewel Gruen grade 157 Quadron manual wind movement, just serviced and running strong. In years from the 1920s through the 1940s, the Gruen Watch Company of USA & Switzerland was one of the leaders in wristwatch design and quality, even working together with Rolex. In 1925, Gruen introduced the men's Quadron. Similar in concept to the women's Cartouche models, these were rectangular watches containing very high-quality 15-j or 17-j tonneau-shaped movements. A larger movement is generally more reliable and accurate, and is generally more rugged, than a smaller one of the same quality, so the Gruen Cartouche and Quadron, with their case-filling, purpose-built movements performed much better than the small, round movements used by most of their competitors at the time. Round movements were still used in the less expensive rectangular Gruen wristwatches...
