This beautiful Buren Grand Prix Super Slender is in very good condition, showing minimal signs of wear. This watch is fully functional and was just serviced. This watch features a 14k sold gold case, including caseback and signed crown. The 30 jewel microrotor automatic movement is very beautiful and was serviced without the need for any new parts. This watch used to belong to an esteemed clockmaker in southern Ontario, his name is engraved on the caseback, as shown in the attached photos. If you want something classy and just the right amount of flashy, this watch is for you. As usual with vintage watches, I do not recommend exposure to moisture or water.

Established:	1898
Website:	Unknown
Country of Origin:	Switzerland

The Buren Watch Company was created in 1898, following the acquisition of Fritz Suter & Cie, at the Swiss town Büren an der Aare (canton Bern), by the London company of H. Williamson Ltd. There were produced pocket watches of all types and table clocks. Due to the existing rail link H. Williamson Ltd. invested and expanded further in Büren and developed the site into an international branch. From 1916 Henry Williamson used the signature "Büren Watch Co."

Then the H. Williamson Ltd. had to close due to a stock market crash. However, a group of Swiss and an Englishman provided the capital necessary to be able to continue the watch production under Swiss management and with the new name Uhrenfabrik Buren AG.

In 1966 the Buren Watch Company was sold to the Hamilton Watch Company. Buren quickly became the manufacturer of the majority of Hamilton watches, eliminating US production. Buren continued working on new movements, notably Calibre 82, a high-beat movement. But the Buren name was retired before it was finished. After Buren/Hamilton was taken over by the SSIH in 1971, the company rapidly failed. In 1972 came the end of the Buren Watch Company, with all assets sold.

Today the brand name is owned by the Schweizer Uhren Editionen (Swiss Watches Editions) in Hamburg, which again manufactures watches under this label.
