Autowind Veri-Thin ~1947-ishCal 460 with blued Slim-bo hands; Wed, 05 March 2014 02:52Model name : unknown - Import 264 (p. 194 in Shawkey's guide) ElectraWed, 26 February 2014 05:00Model name: Electra Alpina 130 yearsTue, 25 February 2014 17:17This is interesting reading published by Alpina on the history of the brand. Not a lot of information in there that was not already known, but some additional information that is interesting like the fact that Marc Farvre bought the ébauches from Universal Genève. The same time there is questionable information saying that calibers like the 117,119,123,311 were were sourced from "Gruen, and thus Aegler..." Imperial Tank 14KTue, 18 February 2014 02:55Model name: Imperial Tank Gruen CarréMon, 17 February 2014 04:54A few pictures of my recently acquired Gruen Carré. No competition on eBay, so bought for a fair opening bid. Seller didn't know how to open it, so was unaware that it was enamel over solid silver. A little dusting and cleaning is all I've done.

This is one story that will never be told! The watch has historical significance. Why? the watch was give to someone's son December 25th 1929 as per the personal engraving inside the case back, History tells us that this watch was purchased 2 months after the great depression started. Think about that for a minute. A person still could afford to buy a solid 14 karat white gold Quadron two months after the largest financial collapse in US history! Who had the means to do that? Who had the financial confidence to buy this watch not knowing what was ahead financially. Wow?
