empressissi™ is pleased to offer this early and sought after Art Deco GRUEN wrist watch for men - a unique model from the late 20s in uncommon green gold filled case with a classic Art Deco design.
The watch houses an early top class Guild 885 manual wind caliber, running well on 15 jewels with sub seconds. It is cased in an elegant barrel shaped 14K green gold filled case with elegant floral engraved sides and overall excellent condition. The watch has a mint original mineral crystal and a good original crown.
The dial is a factory original hard enamel dial with Art Deco style numerals with recently restored luminous filling, carefully hand painted in our atelier with non-toxic paint simulating old Radium in dark green tone. The same material was applied to the original set of decorated skeleton hands as well.
This Gruen watch measures 28mm side to side (excluding crown) and 34mm from top lug to bottom lug.
Attached to this watch is a brand new quality padded genuine leather band in black, 16mm wide with an anti-allergic white tone buckle.
