About the Item

This vintage Gruen Precision wristwatch showcases the timeless elegance that defined mid-20th-century watchmaking. Housed in a rectangular 10k gold-filled case, the watch features clean Art Deco-inspired lines and a refined presence on the wrist. The silvered dial is accented with applied gold-tone Arabic numerals and a subsidiary seconds register at 6 o’clock, adding both balance and function to the design. Powered by Gruen’s dependable manual-wind movement, this timepiece reflects the brand’s long history of precision and craftsmanship. Gruen was one of America’s most respected watchmakers, known for producing elegant watches that combined Swiss movements with stylish American design. Paired with a later black leather strap, this watch makes a sophisticated statement, equally at home in a vintage collection or as a refined daily wearer. Recently serviced and in perfect working order.
