FINE Men's '50s 14k White Gold Gruen Curvex with Black Dial and Box - SERVICED 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. We're particularly fond of Gruen watches, as much for their style as their meticulous engineering. You will find few watch houses today that take the pride Gruen did three-quarters of a century ago. The look of a vintage Gruen still quickens the pulse and nothing ... nothing is as pleasant as a cleaned and timed example ticking away. This Deco Gruen certainly illustrates the early 20th century's obsession with sensual curves. One of the most elegant, artful designs to have graced a wrist, the fluidity of this Gruen Curvex is absolutely palatable. Measuring a solid 38mm by 22mm, this Curvex — in solid 14k white gold — features a perfectly restored midnight dial with highly stylized markers, accented by three brilliant-cut diamonds at the 9, 12 and 3 o'clock positions. Marked Gruen/Curvex/Precision/Switzerland," its astonishing face is protected by an equally flawless crystal. Simply gorgeous. Also marked "Gruen/14k," the back snaps open to reveal its mechanical treasure: a professionally cleaned, oiled and calibrated 17 ruby jeweled movement — the pride of a remarkable watch house! This timepiece comes fitted with a black crocodile strap that seems to complement the piece nicely — enabling it to be worn much to the consternation of fellow executives and admiration of perky ingenues. Looking for a gift for that special person? Don't give that battery-operated drivel one can find on any street corner in any third-world country on this planet: Give a piece of horological history that can be worn and deeply envied!We love our international clients and are honored to serve them. However, we cannot ship watches with crocodile/alligator or lizard straps overseas due to customs restrictions. We're happy to substitute a leather strap or ship without a strap.

As many of our fine buyers and repeat clients know, each day we offer a smattering of things we've picked up here and there, many fine watches and pieces of jewelry that for one reason or another we'll not be offering on our Web site – some new old stock! Take a moment to look through our eBay offerings and bypass the estate and yard sale madness for watches and outstanding pieces of Victorian and Deco jewelry – many of which are running and pristine – that are ridiculously underpriced. Watches this week include a '20s ladies antique watch or two, '30s Deco pieces, a '40s military style wristwatch, and fine Retro stainless steel wristwatches that are representative of a style that’s becoming all the rage; as well as gold rings and vintage wire lug examples perfect for restoration. Coming up are sterling silver wristwatches and a few items dug out of the workbench drawer of a retired watchmaker or two. Don't know anything about wristwatches? Have no idea about your grandfather's railroad pocket watch? We're one of the Web's largest vintage wrist and pocket watch dealers and are delighted to answer any questions you have about the timepieces we offer or those heirlooms you're unsure of. We extend a heartfelt invitation to see our other offerings and stop by to find out what's next!
