Would n't that make it a Columbus Watch?....another embellishment?! Shocked. And it was the safety pinion in 1874. Yeah, the tendency for watch company's to take liberties with their establishment dates to earliest possible is kind of maddening for people who like dates set in stone like I do.
Subject for a different day but by my observations, technically, the Gruen Watch Co really can trace its true founding back to 1894 with D.Gruen & Son.
But this is all still on subject, bc where do you draw the line in what Gruen claims in it's literature, pamphlet s, and ads? When they say all positions, what does that truly mean?
My motto is everything w a grain of salt w Gruen. Otherwise, I'd be believing things like Gruen was the first to make a curved movement...
I came across a newspaper thingy recently where Fred said no one is as susceptible to advertising as Americans are.
