Gruen Authority

Sorry if the gender speculation is getting tiresome, but one more point. The hinged lugs seem masculine to me. Every 1910s ad we have in the reference thread shows all wristlets with either a ribbon strap on wire lugs or a narrow metal bracelet attached to small tabs. Granted, I don't think there are any men's models shown with hinged lugs either, but we know that they were a fairly common feature on men's watches at the time. I don't recall seeing them often, if ever, on a watch that was clearly meant for ladies.
