Broke out my light box and Canon SD1000 Digital Elph today to snap some shots of this Gruen I received in the mail on Wednesday. It was made at Gruen's world-famous "Time Hill" factory in Cincinnati in the early-mid 1930s. The stepped case (which accomodates a round movement with the rectangular dial design) is gold filled, and the 15-jewel movement was made in Gruen's Swiss factory. This 70-75 year-old sweetheart is holding up a lot better than I am! Check out the domed crystal in the last photo.
