About this item
This is a vintage pocket watch made by Gruen circa 1960.
I suspect that the watch has never been used as it is in the same perfect condition as when it was made. It comes with its original box, outer box and instruction leaflet.
Movement – the gilt ¾ plate movement has a lever escapement and is signed “Gruen Watch Co, Unadjusted, 497 R, 17 Jewels, Swiss”. The movement is in 100% mint condition – flawless
Case – the movement comes in a gold plated open face case, which has snap on back and bezel. The back cover is slightly domed shaped with crisp engine turning and is set inside with a music box by Reuge. This musical box is wound and turned on and off by the winder and button on the back cover. The music plays well with a clear melody. The rest of the case is decorated with coin edged sides and a smooth plain finish on the bezel. The case is in 100% mint condition – flawless
Dial – the white melamine dial has fancy blue steel hands and is signed “Gruen, Swiss Made”. It is decorated with some musical notes and is in 100% mint condition.
The watch measures 55mm wide x 18mm deep
The watch is stem wound / stem set
The watch has a synthetic glass
The watch comes with its original outer cardboard box, inner box and also a booklet called Musical Time with more information about the history of the watch and instructions also
