A Swiss lever chronometer
Case: 14k pink gold, monogrammed. Dial: enamel. Movm.: bridge movement, screw compensation balance.
Alexander Hüning (1855-1931) was most likely a native of Germany who went to Geneva around 1880 after completing his apprenticeship; he became a citizen of Geneva in 1898. In 1893 Hüning and Emile Fiebiger established the company Fiebiger & Huening at the Rue de Lévrier 13 in Geneva together, which Hüning continued on his own after Fiebiger’s death. He was particularly known for his fine, complicated pocket watches of supreme quality.
