I have been a customer at Andreas Huber until they were taken over by Bucherer and finally ceased existing.
Andreas Huber started as a watchmaker building his own watches and finally operated a watch factory in Garmisch-Partenkirchen in the Grerman Alps.
Later - I do not know when - they stopped building their own watches and turned into the leading watch dealership in Munich.
When they turned 150 years old in 2006 various manufacturers with long standing relationships created special models or editions for Huber. The most notable amongst them might have been the A. Lange Kalenderwoche. (A watch that displayed the week of year, the day of week, but not the day of month 8-O.)
IWC created the "Urania" for the occasion. Unfortunately I do not recall the story exacly and I cannot find the Huber 2006 catalog in my shelf anymore. But I believe to remember that "Urania" was a brand under which Andreas Huber offered some (or all?) of their own watch production. And the model created by IWC for the jubilee closely resembled one of the old Huber "Urania" models.
