Barney Green wrote on Wed, 17 February 2021 14:03At some point of time Precision and Extra Precision grades were built in house. But not before the precision factory was opened. Gruen did not have their own factory at that time! They left their customers under the impression that they had that, but this is not true.
...
The first years of the the Precision Factory it is said that only pocket watch movements have been built there. It took Gruen more than 10 years to move also other products to their own factory.
Well, they sure fooled this customer. I really thought that anything with "Precision" on the dial was in-house production by the mid 1920s, while anything that didn't was outsourced in that 1925-1935 timeframe. For example, looking at Quadrons I assumed that the 157 was outsourced (as it definitely was), while the 117-119-123 were made at the Precision factory, and then the 325-3251 was outsourced (at it presumably was). From what I'm getting here, it's likely that none of them were manufactured at the Precision Factory.
