Fine Men's Estate Vintage
Retro Mod '70s Gruen Jump-Hour Autowind Watch - RUNS!
We at Strickland Vintage
Watches have had the privilege of buying fine things from around the world,
often acquiring entire estates just to get one piece. There might be several
good items in a group that are outside our sphere of interest. However, they
may just be the wonderful treasures you've been seeking!
There have been many of
you out there who can’t afford an SVW piece but still want a vintage timepiece
on your wrist; there are set designers and costume coordinators on productions
who are looking for just the right piece for their character(s). The
estate-fresh pieces we list are for you.
Some run; some do not
but none have been cleaned, oiled and calibrated, so whether it is running at
the time of this writing or not, one must have the piece serviced before
wearing it as an everyday driver.
We’re pleased to offer
this late ‘60s/early ‘70s Gruen jump-hour Autowind wristwatch in surprisingly
good original condition(!) Measures approx. 32mm by 26mm – not counting crown,
of course. I would consider this piece quite rare, as I’ve seen VERY few in the
decades we’ve been serving our fine clients. I’d call it a mid-size piece;
perhaps a ladies watch as it is not huge: That said, it’s a fine size for a man
with a slender wrist. My guess is a piece this fascinating and unusual will go
to one of our overseas friends or a professional who wants something very
nearly unique without paying dearly for it. Have a ‘60s production and are
looking for just that right watch for one of your characters? You’ve found it.
If you have information
on these Gruen jump-hour Autowinds, do feel completely free to let us know!
PLEASE NOTE: This work of horological
art is by one of the world’s most interesting Watch houses has a fine wrist
presence and does try to run; however, it must be serviced -- cleaned, oiled
and calibrated before being worn as an everyday driver. We therefore cannot
guarantee running condition or accuracy.
Bonne Chance!
