Huber isn’t just a watch brand — it’s one of Austria’s most storied horological houses, with a history that includes everything from royal appointments to private-label rarities.
If you’re the kind of collector who loves obscure dial signatures, early 20th-century craftsmanship, and the occasional sleeper-value vintage gem, Huber is worth knowing.
Founded in Liechtenstein in 1900 and later expanding to Vienna, Hübner & Huber (later just Huber) became a prestigious retailer of high-end watches and jewelry
throughout Central Europe. Over the decades, they sold and co-branded timepieces from top Swiss manufacturers — including Patek Philippe, Longines, Movado
and others — often with the Huber signature on the dial.
While Huber was primarily a retailer, they also commissioned private-label wristwatches and pocket watches during the early-to-mid 20th century, some of which now
circulate in vintage collector markets. These pieces can be signed “Huber,” “Juwelier Huber,” or “Hübner & Huber”, and they often reflect the era’s Art Deco or mid-century styles.
Today, Huber still operates as a luxury retailer and remains Patek Philippe’s authorized dealer in Austria — but vintage Huber-signed watches are now sought out
by collectors who value regional history and co-branded rarity.
Huber-signed watches are low-production, regionally rare, and often housed in Swiss-made cases with high-quality movements. They appeal to collectors who chase:
While they rarely make it into mainstream auction headlines, Huber watches have a quiet cult following, especially among vintage European dealers.
Because co-branded vintage watches are a niche category that continues to gain traction among serious collectors, and Huber is one of the more authentic, historically
grounded names in that space.
These aren’t fashion reissues. They’re the real thing — mid-century Swiss watches sold through a prestigious Austrian retailer, sometimes with their own dials
sometimes with dual signatures, always with strong old-world charm.
If you like Longines Ultra-Chrons, Movado Calendographs, or Patek Calatravas — a Huber-signed example is a conversation-starting variant that tells a deeper story.
Everything Huber is vintage or co-branded — the company hasn’t released modern watches under its own name in decades.
Look for:
Pricing is highly variable — from $500 for basic hand-winds to $10,000+ for rare dual-branded pieces, especially when attached to a major manufacture.
Huber is a vintage deep cut — and if you’re into dial details and forgotten history, it’s a great rabbit hole.
I’ve seen a few Huber-signed Longines and Movados come through, and they always feel special. Same case shapes and calibers as the mainstream versions — but with
that little regional twist that makes collectors lean in and say, “Wait, what’s that logo?”
It’s a watch for the collector who’s already seen it all — and wants something nobody else at the table is wearing.
Delray Watch is always on the lookout for unique Huber watches — especially dual-signed pieces from Longines, Movado, or Patek, as well as mid-century manual winds
and Art Deco-era dress watches.
