It constructed the Timehill Building, featured in much of its early advertising. The company later opened a factory in Biel Switzerland. The Gruen philosophy was to adhere to the spirit of the old guilds. Gruen made beautiful ladies and gent's watches with very high quality movements, often using the same as those used by Rolex in the early part of the 20th century. In fact Gruen and Wilsdorf and Davis (the Rolex founders) were well known to each other. The company was successful for many years but got into difficulties in the 1950's. Along with a number of other watch companies. Gruen was broken up and sold off in pieces in 1958. The Time hill Building is now owned by Rolex. The Gruen name is still used today on quartz watches with Japanese and Swiss movements I am a watch collector as well as a buyer and seller of new, pre-owned, antique, and vintage watches I only sell genuine, authentic, watches in "Very Good" to "Pristine" condition Condition Guide: Pristine - Items in "like new" condition.

From inexpensive to high-end. From vintage to current models. I am a collector as well as a buyer and seller. I specialize in vintage wristwatches from the 1930's to the 1990's. I do not deal in pocket watches. Please feel free to email, text, or call me at any time if you have any questions about the watches for sale, or to talk about watches in general. How long have you been collecting?    I have been collecting and selling wristwatches since 2006. What types of watches do you sell?    I deal exclusively in wristwatches that not only look good but function well. I specialize in Cartier, Rolex, Tudor, Omega, Longines, Tag Heuer, Hamilton, Movado, and more. What types of wristwatches do you recommend?    I don't recommend any particular style, since that is a personal thing with the wearer. However, the one thing I highly recommend, with a few exceptions, is mechanical (hand winding) or automatic movements over quartz (battery operated) movements. Are you a member of any organizations?    I am a member of the NAWCC, The National Association of Watch and Clock Collectors, which establishes the standards for ethical conduct for NAWCC member activities related to horology.   Vintage watches are generating more interest over the last several years since collectors realize and appreciate their quality. These vintage watches are a bargain when you consider the cost of producing a comparable watch with a high grade movement. I offer a variety of vintage watches which would make an interesting example for any collection or just be fun to wear as your own personal timepiece. Because older, vintage, wristwatches were made smaller than watches made today, men or women can wear these and would look fabulous on your wrist. Our goal is to provide the best vintage watches our customers can find on the market. We offer a diverse collection of brands and models to satisfy any preference, price, and taste. I specialize in American, Japanese, and Swiss timepieces from the 1930s to 1990s, consisting of manual wind, automatic, and quartz (battery operated) watches.  Authenticity Pledge At Vintage Watch Outlet, your trust is very important to us. We believe that buying a pre-owned vintage watch online should be simple, honest, and straightforward. To that end, we guarantee that every watch on our site is 100% genuine and authentic. We are not affiliated with any website that sells Fake or Replica items. Our mission is to be the leading, trusted, online source for selling and buying authentic pre-owned watches.
