Dugena is a German watch manufacturer, currently part of the EganaGoldpfeil group.

 

The name “Dugena” is one of Germany's most famous watch brands. The roots of the company lie in Switzerland, namely with the Swiss watchmaker association Corporation d'Horlogers Suisse, which was founded in 1883 by Gottlieb Hauser. This was called Union Horlogère from 1901 and presented itself at this time with the brand name Alpina, which was first used as the name of a proprietary caliber.

 

During World War II, the Allies prohibit the Union Horlogère to continue to market in Germany under the name “Alpina”. Therefore, 1942 in Berlin it is decided to rename Alpina into “DUGENA - Deutsche Uhrmacher-Genossenschaft Alpina” (German watchmaking cooperative Alpina). As a unique trademark the circle in the triangle is chosen, under which the new brand achieves a high level of awareness.

 

In 1948, the headquarters of Dugena, which had been in the eastern part of Berlin, is moved to Darmstadt. Under the successful management of the director Willi Tempel Dugena becomes a byword for reliable and modern quality watches in West Germany.

 

From 1993, Dugena is part of the EganaGoldpfeil group based in Offenbach, whose holding company is based in Hong Kong. However, this holding gets into heavy turbulence after the death of its founder Hans-Jörg Seeberger in 2007. This becomes the fate of all brands located under its roof, including the watch brands Junghans and Dugena.
