Calibre 21 is a 21 jewel, Adjusted grade. It appears to have been superseded by the Calibre 52 (21 jewel, Adjusted, Precision), but there do not appear to be hard and obvious differences between them, except for the markings.

I don't know of any 16 jewel 16s Gruens. Could you post a picture?

Lemme get back to ya, in a couple years...nah, just yankin your chain. Laughing Yeah I had worked out calibre 21 wasn't 16 jewel a while back but appreciate the confirmation Snark.



No, I can't post a pic of the movement unfortunately but the existence of a 16s/16 jewel Gruen is certain as it is documented in literature from 1904.
