This is a nice Gruen Precision that is mostly significant as a very nice example of a presentation watch. It was presented by General Motors Frigidaire Division as a Quota Club award in 1931. There is another example of this award in the "Small Wonders" part of the collection that features a Hamilton Grade 400 movement.

This watch is complete with the box and a large guarantee certificate. The box is ftted as though it were a military award complete with ribbon and oak leaves.
