The Gruen Watch Company, founded in 1894 by Dietrich Grün and his son Frederick in Cincinnati, Ohio, was once a leading American watch manufacturer. Known for innovative designs and high-quality timepieces, Gruen pioneered advancements like the VeriThin pocket watch and early wristwatches. The company peaked in the 1920s and 1930s, becoming America's largest watch company by sales. Despite introducing iconic designs like the Curvex in 1935, Gruen faced financial difficulties in the 1950s, leading to its dissolution in 1958. Today, Gruen watches remain prized by collectors for their quality and historical significance in American watchmaking.
