About the Brand
Gruen: Founded in Ohio, Gruen was one of the largest American watch manufacturers for much of the 20th century. Shortly after relocating to Cincinnati, the company became the number one selling watch brand in the United States. Like many manufacturers of the era, Gruen shifted production during World War II to fulfill military contracts. After the war, an influx of Swiss imports severely impacted the brand, ultimately leading to its closure in 1977. Today, Gruen is remembered through its elegant and innovative vintage watches.
