Butterfly Steel Pocket Watch — Between Wings and Gears
The butterfly steel pocket watch establishes itself as one of those rare pieces where horology ceases to be utilitarian to become language. The stainless steel case welcomes a dial whose butterfly wings, tinted with gold leaf and turquoise, envelop the visible gears with a presence both delicate and precise. Consulting the time becomes a suspended gesture — the gaze glides across the details of fine craftsmanship, lingers upon this window opened to the heart of the mechanism, before returning to the world. Worn as a necklace, the butterfly jewelry watch rests against the chest with the discretion of a shared secret. The steel endures, the quartz measures, but it is the ensemble — this alliance of the living and the mechanical — that confers upon this timepiece its singular character.
The Art of Distinction
- Worn as a necklace or slipped into a pocket, this piece transforms the reading of the hour into a moment of personal contemplation.
- The presence of visible gears beneath the wings makes it a collectible object in its own right, capable of traversing generations without losing its evocative power.
- The quartz movement ensures constant and effortless precision, freeing its owner from any concern for regular mechanical maintenance.
- The integration of the butterfly motif directly into the visible mechanics — and not as a simple decorative surface — distinguishes this timepiece from any ordinary ornament.

How to Wear the Steel Butterfly Watch?
The women's butterfly pocket watch slides naturally into the small pocket of a fitted waistcoat, allowing a few centimeters of chain to protrude — a way of suggesting without revealing. As a necklace version, it harmonizes with an open-collar blouse or a sober evening dress, where the gold and turquoise reflections capture light without competing with the ensemble. For a silhouette with steampunk dominance, it dialogues with brass details, buckled belts, and patinated materials. Those who wish to deepen this mechanical universe will find in a mechanical pocket watch a natural complement to this aesthetic of visible gears.
A Gift of Character
Offering this golden butterfly necklace watch is to propose an object that sits between jewelry and measuring instrument — a nuance that few gifts know how to hold. It is suited to a significant birthday, a diploma presentation, or any occasion where one wishes to signify something enduring. For those seeking a piece of even more assertive character, the gold locomotive pocket watch offers an alternative of quite another magnitude, in the same tradition of narrative horology.
Frequently Asked Questions
What type of mechanism equips this watch, and does it need to be wound?
This timepiece operates with a quartz movement powered by battery. It requires no manual winding. Precision is assured continuously, without intervention on the part of the wearer, until the battery is replaced according to use.
Does the stainless steel case resist daily wear?
Stainless steel offers good resistance to light scratches, ambient moisture, and everyday wear. It is advisable to avoid prolonged immersion and to wipe the case after contact with perspiration to preserve the surface luster.
How should this piece be preserved over time if it is meant to be passed down?
A closed case, protected from direct light and excessive humidity, is sufficient for long-term preservation. It is recommended to remove the battery in case of prolonged storage to prevent any internal oxidation of the battery compartment contacts.
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.

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.
