Case No.01/01 In 1894, Dietrich Gruen founded a new company D. Gruen & Son, a partnership with his son Frederick G. Gruen. Father and son designed a series of pocket watch movements which were manufactured by the German watchmaking firm of Paul Assmann, and incorporated with an escapement designed by Moritz Grossman.
In 1897, the name was modified again D.Gruen & Sons, as another son, George J. Gruen became an additional partner. The company moved in 1898 to Cincinnati, Ohio.
