Wristwatch Reel. New York: Sam Sanborn, 1976. A vintage Gruen wristwatch cleverly modified to conceal a retractable thread reel, modeled on the versions designed and built by Cardini. Sanborn (a jeweler) constructed reels of a quality so fine as to frequently be confused for Cardini?s. This model is SIGNED by the maker inside the case. Very good working condition. SCARCE.
