I saw a "Premo" recently in an eBay auction...

So I threw down a number, and "Voila"! I won it!

I looked over the 12s Case and Dial . . . Nice

Next, I open it up . . . Hmmmm . . .

Go to page 500 of the 2011 Watch Guide and look at the 17J movement shown at the top. The close up of this much higher grade show a 21 Jewel masterpiece that is rare, valuable, and very, very nice. That covers the watch and we know the manufacturer was a very good Swiss watchmaker, but WHO is "Premo Watch Co." ??? One would think D.G. would take the thunder directly for such a fine movement.

Gruen, D. & Sons & Company, Cincinnati, Oh. were issued a trademark for "Premo" Dec. 23, 1912.

The logo/letter design was also used on Gruen signed watches. It stands for Detrick Gruen & Sons.

Thanks for sharing. A very interesting watch that I would not have paid much attention to outside of this post.

Great nice watch.
