Dueber-Hampden Watches Price List (1913)

The Dueber Hampden Watch Company flourished in the 1890s as a result of John C. Dueber’s shrewd business acumen. Despite production volume never rivaling the giant watchmaking factories, Dueber was able to establish market trends and benefited from control over a large share in the watchcase market. When he died in 1907, the company experienced a gradual downturn as the mind behind the strategic business prowess was gone. This price list published by the Dueber-Hampden company in 1913 features the product lineup as the company was slowly losing market share. The catalog booklet opens with the prestigious 23-Jewel “New Railway” grade, offered as the top railroad watch from the company at the time, and concludes with a full list of railroad-approved grades in both 18 and 16 Size.
