Vintage C.1929 Gruen Cartouche Art Deco 14K Gold Reinforced Metal 15J Women's Watch

Step into the Art Deco era with this beautifully preserved late-1920s/early-1930s Gruen ladies watch, housed in an ornate 14K gold reinforced Wadsworth case and powered by a quality 15-jewel manual movement. The engraved case with black enamel inlays, heat-blued hands, and blue cabochon crown are classic Deco details that make this piece stand out. The watch winds and runs when wound, holding a charge, though it currently runs fast and has not been tested for long-term accuracy. The movement is clean and original, marked Gruen 15J. Inside the caseback you’ll find correct period markings: “14K Gold Reinforced With Metal” (outer surfaces are genuine 14K over a reinforced structure), Wadsworth, Serial 5075198 / QS 3. The case and crystal show only light age-appropriate wear, and the original vintage bracelet completes the look. Overall, a striking and increasingly hard-to-find Art Deco Gruen with great character and strong visual appeal — cleaned, photographed, and ready for its next collector.
