They seem miracles of fine workmanship,
these tiny Gruen wristlets—so small, made
of so many different parts, yet so accurately
adjusted, so durable! ■
None but craftsmen like those of the
Gruen Guild, combining their inherited skill
with the most advanced American technical
methods, could produce them.
We are proud to offer you these wristlets,
for the Gruen Guild selects only a relatively
few jewelers of established reputation to dis-
play their watches.
There are costly Grucns, of course. Yet
a Gruen watch is not necessarily expensive.
We have many reliable Cartouches in sturdy
white reinforced gold cases for as little as $35!
From our large collection of Gruen Wrist-
lets, at $35 to $250, you can select just the
watch you want for the amount you have
set aside.
