Sounds like a jewellers name. Happened quite often that jewellers sold watches with their name on the dial.

forgot to mention that it also has 'union chronologie' on the dial.

Verden is a city in norther germany.
Haven't ever heard of "Union Chronologie", I am sorry.

Do you have some pictures of that watch? (dial, movement)

Well,

yes, "Union" was a trade name of Dürrstein & Co in Dresden (and Glashütte).

But you cannot look only at the word "Union", the name there is "Union Chronologie"! There are many other companies with a tradename with the word "union" in it: "Union Abbaye", Union Clock, Union Clock Company, Union Sqaure, Union Watch, ...

And Verden is far away from Glashütte!
