Open Face Golden Dial Watch: Time Laid Bare
There are timepieces that merely tell the hour, and then there are those that reveal its very soul. The open face golden dial watch belongs unequivocally to the latter category. From the first glance, the case adorned in gold unveils what most watches jealously conceal: the precise arrangement of the gears, the tireless rotation of the rotor, the measured beating of each component. The crown, the mineral crystal that protects without ever deceiving, the skeletonized caseback that extends the transparency—each detail contributes to making this timepiece an object of contemplation as much as an instrument of measurement. To wear this piece is to accept that time is no longer merely endured, but observed, understood, almost tamed.
The Art of Distinction
- The open dial transforms time-telling into ritual: each consultation becomes a lucid pause in the flow of daily life.
- A watch of character with golden finishing, it naturally finds its place in a collection or is passed down as an object laden with meaning between generations.
- The automatic movement winds itself with the wearer's natural motions—no battery, no forgotten winds, a discreet reliability that effaces itself behind the pleasure of wearing.
- Where most pocket watches conceal their mechanics, this one makes them its central argument: the dial's transparency is a signature, not an ornament.

How to Wear the Automatic Open Face Pocket Watch?
The golden open face pocket watch naturally calls for a three-piece suit: slipped into a waistcoat pocket, the chain forming a discreet arc across the fabric, it bears an elegance that needs no justification. For a wedding or formal ceremony, it accompanies a dark suit with a sobriety worthy of grand occasions. Those drawn to steampunk aesthetics will incorporate it into an outfit of leather and brass, where the skeleton dial becomes the centerpiece of an assured ensemble. Those wishing to explore other mechanical expressions may also be interested in the mechanical Buddha pocket watch, which unites symbolism and traditional horology.
A Gift of Character
Offering an automatic golden pocket watch is deliberately choosing an object that endures. For a milestone birthday, retirement, wedding, or Valentine's Day, this timepiece embodies a rare consideration: that afforded to the one who receives it. For those still uncertain about which model to offer, our complete pocket watch collection proposes several styles adapted to every horological sensibility.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the automatic winding of this pocket watch function?
The automatic movement is equipped with a rotor that pivots under the effect of the wearer's natural movements, transmitting energy to the mainspring. In case of prolonged inactivity, the crown allows manual winding of 30 to 40 turns to ensure optimal operation.
Does this open face pocket watch require special maintenance?
Like any mechanical movement, periodic maintenance—cleaning and lubrication of the gears—is recommended every three to five years by a horologist. The mineral crystal protects the dial from common scratches, but direct shocks to the case should be avoided.
Is this piece suitable for long-term preservation or family transmission?
A correctly maintained automatic movement can function for decades. For prolonged storage, it is advisable to wind the watch regularly if unworn, and to keep it away from humidity and intense magnetic fields.
The Art of Timekeeping
At UNIVERS GOUSSET, the pocket watch predates the wristwatch by more than a century. It carried the time in an era when every object was built to last — visible mechanisms, engraved cases, hand-forged chains. Univers Gousset selects pieces that perpetuate this craftsmanship, without betraying its spirit.
For collectors and those discovering antique horology alike, our watches share a single standard: to endure over time. Through their mechanics, their materials, and what they represent worn every day.
Every watch has its character. Find yours.
Skeleton movement or hunter case, gold or silver, manual-wind or automatic — our collections cover the full spectrum of pocket watchmaking. Each piece is selected for its craftsmanship and character, not its trend.
What a pocket watch changes.
A bare wrist, a glinting chain — the difference comes down to one object.
