Bazzab,

Paul's site certainly states that both men's and lady's watch movements were made at the Norwood faciliy. However, if it is the cal 290, I've yet to see one that isn't marked with anything other than Switzerland. Maybe I'm missing them. In fact, I'm hard pressed to recall ever seeing a woman's movement marked "US" or "Cincinnati" as the US made 335s are stamped.

Cary has the same impression too - http://mb.nawcc.org/showthread.php?82487-Only-U-S-made-Gruen &p=617389&viewfull=1#post617389


All I know is based on hard work & writing by others. I can only aspire to augment this body of knowledge. If I am wrong it is because of my own failings. -me
