Gruen Authority

This post is to simply highlight what I think is a really cool Gruen watch. The nurses Cartouche 224. Beginning xmas 1926 these were advertised yearly until 1932.
Besides an always beautiful cartouche case the real star is Fred's dial (imo). But the strap that slides is also intriguing.
One neat detail is how the side carving design extends to lugs. This model also came in wire lugs.
