路The watch is currently not working, do you believe it is worth restoring,
Mr. Grun was a jeweler in Vienna, Austria, where he was born on March 19, 1896. In 1930, he moved to Manhattan and started his own firm. He manufactured watches under his name in Switzerland, and he was well-known for the quality and creativity of his jewelry designs,
Among other honors, he was a recipient of the DeBeers Diamond International Award. He created the diamond heart pendant which became the trademark for Arlene Francis, the actress; Democracy's Timepiece, a watch designed for Eleanor Roosevelt which was exhibited at the Smithsonian Institution, and the apple jade and diamond ring worn as a lucky piece by Eugene Cernan while orbiting the moon in Apollo X.
Otto Grun also created the classic RAF watch pin, whose proceeds went to support the British American Ambulance Corps during World War II. But no reference for the watch above, what do you think ?
