Alexander Hüning
Alexander Hüning was born in 1855 and died in 1931. He was most likely a native of Germany who went to Geneva around 1880 after completing his apprenticeship. Alexander became a citizen of Geneva in 1898. In 1893, Hüning and Emile Fiebiger established their company Fiebiger & Hüning, at 13 Rue de Lévrier in Geneva, which Hüning continued after Fiebiger’s death. He was particularly known for his fine, complicated pocket watches of supreme quality.
