M.Z. Berger & Company— 'Gruen' quartz watches
This company has no connection with the Gruen Watch Company, they just have the rights to use the name. Please contact them about your quartz watch, but do not trust them with a vintage Gruen mechanical watch. For mechanical watch repairs, please see the FAQ page to find a watchmaker in your area, or see the other links below.

TimeZone
The best resource on the Web for watch collectors and enthusiasts. The Vintage Watch Forum is a great place to discuss older timepieces and meet collectors.

Cary Hurt
If you're interested in buying or selling a vintage Gruen watch, or are looking for parts, Cary is a knowledgeable Gruen dealer and expert, and a pleasure to deal with. He's been a great help with my research. CHurt44966@aol.com

The Accutron Watch Page
Rob Berkavicius has put together an informative and entertaining website for enthusiasts and collectors of tuning fork watches. I highly recommend this site to all vintage watch enthusiasts.

The Elgin Watch Collector's Site
Wayne Schlitt has produced an excellent and carefully researched site about Elgin, another American watch company whose history has been sadly neglected. His pages include detailed pictures of watches and a section showing Elgin advertising and ephemera.

René Rondeau
Mr. Rondeau is the author of two books about the Hamilton Watch Company—The Watch of the Future, about the Hamilton Electrics, and Hamilton Watches, a Collector's Guide. He also sells vintage timepieces and is the leading specialist in sales and service of Hamilton Electric watches.

Mr. Hiroaki Endo’s Watch Collection
An impressive and varied vintage watch collection in Japan. The picture of each watch is a link to more photos and information. Viewing a collection like this one allows you to compare watches from different manufacturers made during the same time period.

Horology — the Index
Maintained by Fortunat F. Mueller-Maerki, this huge index of horology-related links serves as a portion of the WWW-Virtual Library. Unfortunatly, this list has not been updated for some time.

FinerTimes
One of the oldest and best vintage watch sales sites on the Web.

Papergirl
Papergirl has over two million vintage advertisements in her inventory. On her website, you can search through her current listings, or browse through them by category. She's been one of my best sources for old Gruen ads, and is a pleasure to deal with.

James Dowling's Rolex Page
Mr. Dowling is the co-author of The Best of Time; Rolex Wristwatches. His website features updates and corrections to the book, as well as a gallery of unusual Rolex models. His site also offers rare and unusual vintage Rolex and other watches for sale.

TimeDesign
This is Hans-Peter Brugger's site dedicated to watch design. The site is in both English and German. He has designer watches for sale, and he has collected related information, such as designer biographies and a huge list of watch-related links.

Nomos Tangente "Expo 2000"
Link to a watch review and photos of this German watch that I did for TimeZone.

Ventura v-matic auto
Another TimeZone watch review with photos done for TimeZone.

Watch portfolio
For my eventual Gruen book, I hope to include photos of as many different Gruen watches as possible. This link is to a sample of some watch photography I've done. Please contact me if you'd be willing to allow me to photograph your Gruen collection. contact
