S. industry geared up for wartime production, Gruen formed a War Instruments Division at Time Hill. The new operation, which made gauges and indicators for the military, was Gruens first forray into electronics. Along with other companies doing war work, Gruen showed their military products in ads. This was a way to demonstrate that they were doing their patriotic duty, and a way to keep the Gruen name in the minds of consumers while there was a shortage of watches. Among the items shown in these ads were gauges on electric knife and metal detector control unitsboth were devices used in surgery. The metal detector helped locate bullets, shrapnel and other metal fragments in the bodies of the wounded, and the electric knife cauterized the incision as the surgeon cut with it. The metal detector was ready at the start of the war, and was used during and after the Pearl Harbor attack. Ads also showed gauges and indicators used on aircraft radio direction finders and antiaircraft gun aiming mechanisms, and the roll indicators used for electrically firing the guns on battleships.

Base metal with a glass crystal 7. There was a huge need for Gruens new products. A newspaper article about Gruens changeover to military production claimed that a submarine required 1. Gruen made the changeover to this new type of production on its own initiative, without the need for government grants or loans. The U. S. Army Signal Corps, responsible for radio communications, used large numbers of Gruen gauges on their electrical and electronic equipment. Many of these gauges had second lives after the War, serving amateur radio operators. The Cincinnati Enquirer later revealed that Gruen instruments had played a role in the development of the atomic bomb. Gruen was classified as an essential industry, and Time Hill employees went on a 4. War. They also starting running two shifts, which they had not done previously. Left A Gruen employee in the War Instruments Division at Time Hill, from a 1. Gruens employee magazine. The gauge in front of her looks similar to the one above. Gruens war manufacturing was done by women. The Precision Factory in Switzerland continued to produce civilian watches without interruption, but these were not imported in the same quantities as they had been in peacetime. Competitors like Hamilton, which had facilities only in the U. S., suspended all non military watch production until after the War. Gruen did not make timepieces for the U. S. military, since their watch production depended on their overseas factory. For strategic reasons, domestic sources for material were preferred, if possible, for all WW II military production by the United States. One serious problem for the Company was the fact that trans Atlantic phone calls for commercial purposes were forbidden during the War years, so all communication between Time Hill and the Precision Factory was by surface mail. This made it impossible for the two parts of the Company to coordinate with each other in a timely fashion. On an amusing note, in 1. Christmas present. Above Although Gruen did not manufacture watches for the U. S. military, they offered the public a collection of eight military style watches, to be used as personal watches by or gifts to men and women doing military service. Each model was intended for a particular branch of the militarythe Veri Thin Dix, above, was for the Army. Selling for 3. 9. Guildite Gruens steel alloy bracelet, but this one has a contemporary looking khaki strap. The Guildite case is 2. Because Time Hill was busy with War work, these were imported as complete watches the cases were not American made, as was normal for Gruen. Gruen President Benjamin Katz was called to become a member of the War Planning Board, and spent much of his time in Washington D. C. The Board was made up of top business executives, and was formed to help the government manage and coordinate wartime production among the thousands of companies and factories involved. Board members were paid a token salary of one dollar per year. Having gotten a taste of large military contracts, Gruen would continue to pursue them after the War ended. This would eventually lead to the companys downfall.
