Gruen did make the gauges for the airplanes and bombers…Gruen did at one time make great watches beautiful cases and excellent movements…The watches shown here were more for the home front who wanted a military style watch..keep in mind at that time you couldn’t buy a real military watch from the war like you can now buy a used one…Also family members would send these and other watch brands to people fight in the war…So your right Gruen never did make a Govt. issued watch, they lost the Govt. contract because of in house problems and scandals…but they made these watches because like now military watches are popular, and like i stated Gruen did make the gauges for the planes…

Nice watches, I came across an oldMilitary pokcet watch on E-bay, I found it in the UK
and had to bring it home. I have had family in the Military. Maybe someone outhere can help me out. I think it is from World War one or World War Two.It has a brass case, the dial is black.It has a capital I and TP. The second hand is at the 6 oclock position. On the
back is a CROWS FOOT Mark and # 000387. The watch still works! It has the original leather strap and T-bar and clip. On the movement inside it says made in U.S.A. and the seril number is 9846934. Can anyone point me in the right direction in finding out the age of this time piece. Or the maker of the watch it does not say in the watch. Is there any way to track the owner of the watch? Thank You Jeff Mousaw
