Gruen
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 white gold filled case with a classic Art Deco design and enamel decorations on the bezel.
The watch houses a rare and early GUILD 885 caliber, running well on 15 jewels with sub seconds. It is cased in a classic barrel shaped 14K white gold filled case with decorations in Art Deco motif on the sides and enamel trims on the bezel and comes with a near mint mineral crystal and original crown. This case model ref is 885-2.
The dial is a 100% factory original hard enamel off-white tone with distinctive Art Deco figures and original set of hands. The luminous material on this dial has been restored with non-toxic Super-Luminova™ instead of the original hazardous Radium.

Attached to this watch is a brand new quality padded genuine leather band in black, 16mm wide with an anti-allergic white tone buckle.
