L J E R E are listed the standard prices of all
Gruen watches shown in the book, “ A
Worthy Company o f Watchmakers.”
The letters VE, V I, V2, V3, V2M , VV2J*. V4
and VV4, refer to the movements, which are
fully described in the book.
Where the Louis X IV dial is shown on a watch,
the price quoted includes that style dial. An
extra charge is made for this Louis X I V dial
where not included as above.
Our workshops on Tim e Hill include an Amer­
ican Service Department where a full supply
of duplicate parts is kept constantly on hand.
The difference in price between grades of a
model is due not only to the number of jewels
and the size, but to the quality o f materials and
the more accurate Precision Adjustments.
PR IC E S— Owing to market conditions, are subject to
change without notice.
WARNING
D E sure the watch you buy is a G r u e n . Not every Swiss watch is a
Gruen. A genuine Gruen watch has the name “ G r u e n ” on the
dial. That word is a guarantee that you are getting a Swiss-American
watch, made with guild skillt o f the best material, with the complete
service o f an American workshop behind it.
