Originally a Swiss house they eventually settled in Cincinnati and produced truly extraordinary watches. Finely finished, accurate and dependable with exceptional styling Gruen watches were everywhere. In fact our family stores in Los Angeles carried the Gruen line after Hamilton closed our account when we sold one at a slight discount during the depression, in the early 1930's. You can count on this watch to get you there on time all the time and in style as well. It is also the perfect unisex size as well.
