Automatic open-face pocket watch: watchmaking laid bare
There exist timepieces one consults, and others one contemplates. This automatic open-face pocket watch belongs resolutely to the second category. The moment light grazes the silvered case, the eye is captivated by the dance of the gears, the hypnotic oscillation of the balance wheel, the silent precision of a movement no longer concealed. The deliberately open dial transforms each glance at the time into a moment suspended between mechanics and poetry. The crown, faithful to horological tradition, testifies to craftsmanship executed according to the rules of the art. Worn on a waistcoat or slipped into a jacket pocket, this open automatic pocket watch reminds us that time, for those who know how to observe it, is a living matter.
The art of distinction
- Carrying this piece is to affirm a sensitivity to time that transcends the mere reading of hours—a manner of inhabiting the moment with elegance.
- Both collector's object and heirloom, this timepiece endures across generations without losing either its grace or its precision.
- Automatic winding draws energy from the natural movement of the body: no battery, no constraint—the watch lives to the rhythm of its wearer.
- The open dial transforms every consultation into an intimate spectacle, setting this model apart among silver pocket watches with open faces through its total mechanical legibility.

How to wear the silver automatic pocket watch?
The three-piece suit remains the natural setting for this silver automatic pocket watch: slipped into the waistcoat pocket, secured by a delicate chain, it completes a formal silhouette with a sobriety that commands respect. For a wedding or prestigious dinner, it pairs beautifully with a dark double-breasted jacket and a spread-collar shirt. Lovers of retro-industrial style will readily pair it with a leather or tweed waistcoat in a controlled steampunk composition. Finally, for everyday wearers, discover our selection of silver pocket watches, designed to accompany you both in the city and at formal occasions.
A gift of character
Offering a skeleton-dial pocket watch is to offer a reflection on time—a rare gesture, counter to the ephemeral. It suits the mechanical horology enthusiast who does not yet own an automatic piece, the collector seeking a silver open-face reference, or those one wishes to honor on a milestone birthday or special ceremony. To vary styles within the same collection, our skeleton pocket watch with Roman numerals forms with this model a coherent and striking pairing.
Frequently asked questions
How does automatic winding work on an open automatic pocket watch?
The automatic movement is equipped with a rotor that pivots through the natural movements of the wrist or body. This rotation accumulates energy in the mainspring. As long as the watch is worn regularly, manual winding becomes unnecessary. In the case of occasional wear, a few turns of the crown suffice to restart the mechanism.
What daily maintenance does a silver automatic pocket watch require?
Regular maintenance is limited to a gentle wipe of the case with a soft, non-abrasive cloth to preserve the luster of the silver. Prolonged exposure to humidity should be avoided. A complete horological service, including movement cleaning and gear lubrication, is recommended every five to eight years depending on usage.
Can this piece be kept for a long time before being given or passed on?
Stored in a closed case, away from direct light and humidity fluctuations, an automatic mechanical watch will be preserved for several decades without notable deterioration of the movement. For long-term storage, it is advisable to wind the mechanism periodically and have seals and lubricants checked before returning the watch to service.
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.
