The Gruen 835 was made by Aegler starting approximately in 1924. It is also known as the Rolex 200 or Alpina 835. It is a 6.75 x 11" 15 jewel 4 adj movement bearing patent #+97101. All are marked with the movement number just below the balance wheel. EDIT: I understand that the 835B has interchangeable parts but apparently is a slightly different size. Still trying to find out more info on the 835B

I've got 3 different examples here with slightly different markings:
