Gruen Art Deco Filigree Ladies Watch | White Gold Filled | Blue Cabochon Crown | 1920s

Description

This is a genuine 1920s Gruen in white gold filled with some of the most extraordinary hand-engraved filigree work we have encountered. Every surface of the tonneau case is covered in intricate scrollwork, floral motifs, and geometric Art Deco patterns. This level of engraving was done entirely by hand, one cut at a time, by a master engraver.

The two-tone dial features concentric oval design elements: an outer cream track with bold Art Deco Arabic numerals, an inner oval with additional decorative elements, and a small recessed centre. "GRUEN" is visible at 6 o'clock. The dial has developed honest patina over its century of existence, adding character.

A blue cabochon crown sits at 3 o'clock, adding a jewellery-like accent. The silver filigree S-curve link bracelet matches the case's decorative intensity. Every component was designed as a unified decorative object.
