Gents boxed 1950s Gruen Precision wrist watch
A gents 1950s Gruen Precision wrist watch.
The watch has a 17-jewel Swiss hand-winding movement which is working nicely. The movement is fully signed Gruen Precison Veri-Thin.
Dietrich Gruen, was born in Germany in 1847. At 15 years of age, he was sent away from home to become a watchmaker's apprentice. Later he worked for three years in Switzerland before going to the USA. 1876 saw Gruen join forces with the son of a prominent watch manufacturer from Columbus, Ohio and together they founded the Columbus Watch Company.
Gruen subsequently left Columbus and set up his own company and in 1900 the corporate name was registered as D Gruen, Sons & Co. The movements were made in Switzerland and in fact Gruen was one of the first US watch companies to offer movements produced in Switzerland but adjusted, dialled and cased in the US.
Back to this particular watch, it measures 33mm diameter excluding the winding crown and the lugs. The case is 10k gold filled and is in good condition, just some surface marks which are mainly to the back.
The lens is in good condition.
The signed dial has darkened a little with age but still easy to read the time.
A new leather strap has been fitted.
The watch comes in a vintage Gruen presentation box. ALL PRICES INCLUDE UK POSTAGE (excluding Northern Ireland).
Please contact us before placing international orders so that we can advise of shipping prices and to see if customs regulations allow us to post watches to your country.
The international buyer is responsible for paying any import duties and taxes.
All of our watches are checked over before listing, and are also checked for accuracy which is usually within around +/- two to three minutes over 24 hours (unless otherwise stated), which is considered respectable for a vintage watch.
