Gruen Guild Wristlet from the 1920s or 1930s

Gruen added a line of wristwatches for women in 1912, using the name “wristlet” to encourage consumers to think of them as elegant, timekeeping bracelets. Available with gold or platinum cases, the wristlets were ornamented with diamonds or embossed decorations and strapped to the wrist with an adjustable ribbon.
