As one of the largest vintage watch dealers on the Web, we serve some of the finest and most discerning clients in the world. Our job is to constantly challenge ourselves, raising the bar so that we bring the finest, most unusual vintage timepieces to our deserving clients. We scour the world for mint examples of watches produced during the last century by renowned watch houses such as the House of Gruen.
Gruen emerged as one of the pre-eminent watch houses in the United States, producing accurate timepieces in stylish cases that became Jazz-Age darlings. Watch houses sought to outdo one another, carrying the wristwatch as a fashion statement to ever higher levels, but none seemed to touch the panache of Gruen. Founded in the United States in 1876, the legacy of Deitrich Gruen is a benchmark for watch designers to this day.
This '60s era solid stainless steel Gruen Precision is just such a timepiece! Measuring 42mm by 36mm excluding crown, this handsome timepiece is mint, in a mirror-polished solid stainless steel case, featuring a most desirable platinum-tone dial – dripping with the sort of mirrored elegance one would expect from one of America's most conscientious talented watch houses. Straight from Park Avenue and deliciously perfect, this model exudes the elegance one would expect to see in "Breakfast at Tiffany's" or on the wrist of Mr. Peppard himself. Very groovy; very '60s posh.
Powered by Gruen's famous 17 jewel manual wind classic, it keeps accurate time and will never need batteries, relying solely on the genius of Gruen's engineering team. By streamlining a mechanism that runs by kinetic energy, Gruen set a high standard for manual wind watches during the Mid-Century and into the Mod era.
This stunning work of wrist art is fitted with a black shark strap and matching buckle. Perfect as a Town & Country timepiece or something to create waves of envy among peers colleagues or partners, this watch is in a word, delightful.
