Expanding on the then-current fashion of the rectangular wristwatches shapes, these models were curved to wrap around the wrist. The biggest innovation of the design was the ability to produce a movement which followed the shape of the case, allowing the watch to be thinner and more curved. This, in turn, allowed the movement to be larger, more durable and more accurate. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThere were four men's Curvex movements. The original 1935 model was the long, thin caliber 311. This was soon replaced by the more curved 330 (1937), also long and thin. As fashions changed, later Curvex models used the short, squarish-oval 440 (1940) and the short and wide 370 (1948). Watches with the 330 were called Custom Curved and 370 models were called Curvametric in Gruen advertising, although the dials are all marked simply Curvex and Precision. Any man's watch that does not contain one of these four movements is not a Curvex.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn 1936 the first Curvex models for women were produced, with the tiny caliber 520 curved movement. The Curvex, for both men and women, was Gruen's flagship product from the mid 1930s until the late 1940s. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eToday, we are presenting a stunning and unique vintage Gruen Curvex Precision wristwatch, style 291 and dated from the 1930s. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is a real curved ladies watch with a original Gruen Curvex movement caliber 520, 17 jewels movement, signed “Curvex”, unadjusted, Swiss made. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCased in a 12.4mm asymmetrical curved case with fancy lug design.

But it was until 1883 (before the wristwatch) when Austrian engineer Josef Pallweber filed the first patent for a jump hour movement on a pocket watch.

The need to be able to tell the time quickly and easily in the trenches without fumbling for a pocket watch meant that wristwatch use, and production rose rapidly and the poor conditions that a watch was liable to meet also meant that water and moisture resistance became more important. \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLa Générale appears to have started to specialise in watches to meet the need for WWI: timepieces able tell the time quickly and easily in the trenches without fumbling for a pocket watch. That meant the use of wristwatches. Also, water and moisture resistance became more important around this time.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSame time where La Générale had developed a screw case, swing ring, pocket watch with water resistant properties. By 1903 and during the war, a large percentage of their wristwatches were of the hunter or half hunter types that included a hinged lid to protect the face of the watch from damage. They also provided adapted pocket watches for use in German aircraft cockpits and sold watches under the brand names Kitchener and Les Poilus (a nickname for French troops) in allied countries.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDuring the 1920s, La Générale continued their specialism into so called protected watches; a report on the 1920 Swiss Watch fair mentions “Among other original creations we notice the miner's watch, of an exceptionally robust construction and completely impermeable.” By about 1924 they had also started to produce watches with shock protection, which was very unusual at the time and initially appears to have been a version of the Depollier\/Brun shock protection system patented in 1921. \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis was the time La Générale also began to use the English version of their company name, General Watch Co, prominently in their advertising and push the brand name Helvetia to the fore, almost all the watches they produced from the late 1920s bear the name Helvetia.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHelvetia continued to develop their water and shock protected watches throughout the 1930s; for instance, in 1931, they patented a waterproof crystal fitting. In 1933 an anti-shock movement mounting, also in 1935, the version with a center sweep-second was introduced. During this period, they are regularly mentioned in the UK Horological press as specialising in this area. The following example is from the April 1934 edition of Watch and Clock Maker:\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e​\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"The 'Helvetia' makers differentiate between their 'shockproof' and 'unbreakable' models, where, perhaps, others confuse the two terms and consequently confuse the trade and their wearers ...The firm hold important patents on each type.

In 1881, he bought an industrial workshop in Bienne\/Biel which he transformed into a factory. Jean Aegler specialized in the manufacture of small watch movements, such as lady’s watches, pendant watches and remontoirs. All that, thanks to the development of the 20mm movement, launched himself into the wristwatch market. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eIn November 1888, the firm received one of the first Swiss patents, the number 243 -the stem wind mechanism-. In 1891, Jean Aegler died, and his widow took over running the company and relocated it to Rue du Vignoble (now known as La Haute-Route) in the Rebberg hills above Bienne. The company soon advertised as being located at the Rebberg factory, and this soon became as the brand of watches too. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eResponding to a call from Hans Wilsdorf -a German\/British businessman, best known as the founder of Rolex- and his bother-in-law, Alfred Davis, who were in the process of launching their own brand from London. In 1901, Aegler firm was selected and by 1905 became the sole supplier of the London watch company \"Wildsdorf \u0026amp; Davis\" with movements. In 1906, Jean's son took over and the firm became known as Les Fils de Jean Aegler. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eIn 1908, the firm began branding its watches \"Rolex\". Then, Wilsdorf asked Aegler to increase production for his firm. In 1912, the company officially renamed itself \"Les fils de Jean Aegler, Fabrique de montres Rebberg, Final \u0026amp; Rolex\". For a few years more, focusing on lady models, Aegler continued producing watches under the name the Rebberg and Final brands.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe association between Aegler and Rolex experienced success a few years later when the Aegler wrist watches will be the first in the world to be certified by the Swiss Society of Chronometry. Finally, the company was reorganized on July 30, 1914, and became Aegler S.A., Rolex Watch Co. Also, by 1915, Wilsdorf \u0026amp; Davis changed its name officially to Rolex and moved to Geneva in 1919.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe association flourished until around 1920, Rolex was Aegler's largest customer and Aegler invested in the survival of his largest customer by purchasing 6,950 shares and was appointed to the board. The second largest customer of Aegler was the US firm Gruen. As business recovered after the post-war period, both Rolex and Gruen became large shareholders in Aegler.

At this point, Aegler officially disassociated itself from Gruen and agreed to supply all the movements that they produced exclusively to Rolex. The trading name of the company changed to \"Manufacture des Montres Rolex, Aegler S.A.\", although the company remained owned by the Eagler and Borer families and the legal name remained Aegler S.A. When the territorial distribution agreement between Gruen and Rolex lapsed, Rolex were able to sell watches in the U.S.A. for the first time.

Around 1930, during the Great Depresion, Gruen ceased buying movements and made all their Swiss movements in their own factory \"Gruen Precision Factory\" in Biel\/Bienne, which it was first built in 1910 as a small factory and around 1920 a new factory was built the Gruen Precision Factory or \"Precision Workshop\". The highest quality movements that Gruen sold were produced in the Precision Factory, and Gruen watches containing these were marked \"Precision\". From 1927 to 1929, George T. Gruen was trained at Aegler; by the late 1930's, Gruen were making all thier own movements at the Precision Factory.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\"Gruen obtained a patent for an improved safety pinion, and it is the date recognized by the Gruen Watch Company as the start of its business.\" Early Gruen watches included pocket watches and wristwatches for men and women. Gruen watches were known for their elegant and thin design, marketed by the company as VeriThin. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eAmong the first companies to sell wristwatches, the Gruens split their manufacturing between two continents: exporting American technology to Germany and Switzerland and bringing German and Swiss traditions of craftsmanship to America. Gruen watches are generally considered Swiss watches, the company cased and timed its watches in the United States and imported the movements from Switzerland. There was some short period during the 1950's where Gruen made some movement in the United States.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e GRUEN Guild –\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\"In 1917 the Gruen company built a new factory on the outskirts of Cincinnati at Time Hill.

This unique approach inspired innovation with Gallet's artisans and allowed the company to offer a very extensive range of watches.

In 1864, Léon's brother, Lucien Gallet (1834–1879), established the company's first US location in Chicago, with a New York City office following soon after.

There were many watchmaking businesses with a Racine family member involved, though only a few used the family name. One, Jules Racine Sr. had registered the family name as a watch brand.

Expanding on the then-current fashion of the rectangular wristwatches shapes, these models were curved to wrap around the wrist. The biggest innovation of the design was the ability to produce a movement which followed the shape of the case, allowing the watch to be thinner and more curved. This, in turn, allowed the movement to be larger, more durable and more accurate. \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThere were four men's Curvex movements, they were introduced by Gruen in 1935 with the thin caliber 311. This was soon replaced by the more curved 330 (1937), also long and thin. As fashions changed, later Curvex models used the short, squarish-oval 440 (1940) and the short and wide 370 (1948). Watches with the 330 were called Custom Curved and 370 models were called Curvametric in Gruen advertising, although the dials are all marked simply Curvex and Precision. Any man's watch that does not contain one of these four movements is not a Curvex. \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eToday, we are presenting a real curved timepiece!

The company was also known for its high-quality movements and its innovative designs, which included the first wristwatch with an alarm and the first watch with a shock-resistant balance.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDuring World War II, Elgin produced watches for the military, including the A-11, which became known as the \"Watch That Won the War.\" After the war, the company continued to produce watches, but faced increasing competition from foreign manufacturers and the rise of quartz technology.   \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1968, the company ceased production and its assets were sold to a group of investors. The Elgin name has since been used by various companies, but the original Elgin Watch Company is remembered as one of the most important American watchmakers in history. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e1933 ELGIN \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArt Deco  \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eU.S.A Made \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWristwatch \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnother interesting American timepiece, this is a vintage Elgin Art Deco engraved case wristwatch dated from 1933. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eManual-wind watch powered by an original Elgin movement caliber grade 487, 17 jewels, 4\/0s, model 1, adjusted, made in U.S.A. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCased in a 28.8x29.5mm rectangular Art Deco engraved case with lug design, all in 10K yellow gold filled.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStill has the original white dial (showing some age and patina) with gold Arabic Numerals, black railroad minute track and gold matching hands.

Men’s watches typically measure between 29-36mm wide (some larger, some smaller) excluding the crown. In the listing details we typically try to do our best to list all pertinent dimensions of a watch. If you don't see it, or we failed to do so, please reach out to us. Women’s watches from the 1900s-1970s were also much smaller than today's offerings. Please also feel free to ask any questions you have pertaining to size. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe prefer to shoot photographs outside when weather is permitting. However, when we shoot indoors, please be aware that we shoot our photographs inside of lightboxes that are lit with 360 LED bulbs. This indeed magnifies any flaws. Usually, they are much less obvious to the naked eye. Having said that, we never photoshop any of our photography, remove blemishes, etc. We adjust the lighting, when necessary, but what you see is what you are getting, and we take pride in that. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe condition is pre-owned. \u003cbr\u003eThe item may have some signs of cosmetic wear but is fully operational and functions as intended. \u003cbr\u003ePlease review the photos and feel free to ask any questions you may have.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt will be carefully packed. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease view our other listings. \u003cbr\u003eThank you for looking!  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWA-0798\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Elgin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44524042518722,"sku":"WA-0798","price":250.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0577\/7027\/9106\/files\/DSC08433_2_d86781f1-4c48-4415-9754-c54c8e8500ba.jpg?v=1715382937"}],"url":"https:\/\/secondhandhorology.com\/en-de\/collections\/1930s.oembed?page=2","provider":"SECOND HAND HOROLOGY","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
