This is a simple but sophisticated watch by one of the worlds great watch companies. Gruen, was a Swiss watch company but had manufacturing and assembly in America as well. They were renowned for designing watches of great style and complexity. Gruen was one of the major watch companies in my Grandfathers jewelry store in Los Angeles. This model with an original dial has what is called a "waterproof back" suggesting it is waterproof, but I would not go swimming in it though. You can however wear this watch all the time for all sorts of occasions and count on it as well and you will look great wearing it.

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. It is sad that they could not, like so many other American Watch Companies withstand the Swiss and Japanese marketing.
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
