Gruen Master

Nice! Didn't spot this one on eBay. Still on my wish list, but of what I have seen so far a "fair opening bid" usually means I will have to wait for my bonus to arrive first Laughing

Do you know what the relation was between Gruen and Lipmann Frères (LIP) on these models? What I know is that LIP held the patent for the design and that they sold them under the model name "Eclipso". The Gruen case is Swiss production, so not produced by LIP which was based in Besançon, France. Possibly LIP and Gruen used the same case manufacturer?
