Heres a bit of Gruen history to get you up to date.
United Watch Co (United, United Watches, United W.Co, Unity,etc) is a well documented, longtime known daughter company of Gruen Manufacturing. It was founded December 9th, 1910 in Madretsch. Run by Eduard Gasser.
That is interesting. Thank you for bringing me up speed.

The 1915 date that Barney has for the merger with the parentship is interesting too for wrist watches. I'll stay out of the debate on men's vs woman's on the model.


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
