Map of Gruen Movements

Welcome to the experimental Gruen Movement Map... a graphical front-end to the Gruen Movement Catalog.

If you are trying to match your movement to one on the diagram, be sure and hold your movement dial-down and stem right.  That is the orientation of ALL of the movements in this chart, and generally speaking on this site.  

If you are unable to find a caliber number stamped on your movement, then try steps
1. Measure the Width and Length of your movement, in millimeters
2. Locate the section of the map most closely matches your width measurement
3. Compare your movement with the Thumbprints on the Map

How to use Thumbprints:



Thumbprints are the small graphic in some of the movement squares bottom right corners.  It's black with 4 shaded areas.

  1.  Hold your movement stem right and match your wheel locations with these 3 circles
  2. The PURPLE wheel is the Crown Wheel
  3. The BLUE wheel is the Ratchet Wheel
  4. The RED wheel is the Balance Wheel

You will also find a graphic representing the wheel train bridge shown in YELLOW. In it you'll find holes in the locations you will find jewel holes or screw holes in your watch's train bridge.



You movement should also match the text-data shown with the movements which include the number of Jewels, Number of Adjustments, Precision or Guild quality stamps.

Some of the movements you can click on to pull up detailed data (430, 431, 435, 440, 330), with the goal of providing detailed data on ALL of these movements.

The resolution on this drawing is quite high such that you can zoom in and read the text on the individual movements


Enjoy!  I hope you find this useful.

This information on Gruen Movements is provided free of charge to you, the Gruen collector.  It took great effort and great expense to collect this data. Please don't simply scrape my chart for data and post it elsewhere.  That's not asking too much, right?  I appreciate the support I get from the Gruen community!  Thank you for your encouragement.
