The pocket watch with chain that awakens the golden soul of the nineteenth century
Slipping a chained pocket watch into a waistcoat pocket is to reconnect with a gesture from another era — slow, deliberate, laden with meaning. This gold timepiece features a double hunter case whose two covers open to reveal, on one side, a dial with Roman numerals on a white background, and on the other, the silent ballet of visible gears through the skeletonized caseback. Fine black hands advance with an almost living regularity that only a mechanical movement can offer. The matching chain completes the ensemble with the restraint of an accessory born to endure, not to seduce for a moment. To hold this piece between your fingers is to understand why certain objects traverse generations without ever aging.
The art of distinction
- To wear this piece is to affirm a relationship with time that refuses urgency — a discreet yet immediately recognizable anchor to those who know how to look.
- Both a collector's object and a piece of heritage, this gold timepiece inscribes itself in duration and can pass through several hands without losing either its value or its character.
- The double cover offers protected consultation of the dial, sheltered from shocks and direct light, prolonging the legibility of the crystal and the sharpness of the dial through the years.
- The visible skeleton on the dial and caseback transforms each glance into contemplation: the mechanics are no longer concealed, they become the subject.

How to wear this gold pocket watch with chain
The most historically faithful way is to slip this timepiece into the waistcoat pocket of a dark three-piece suit — charcoal, midnight blue, or burgundy — with the chain passing through the center buttonhole. For a more contemporary register, grey flannel trousers paired with a tweed jacket leave ample room for the gold pocket watch, visible above the breast pocket. Steampunk aesthetics enthusiasts will find their delight pairing it with a leather corset or a fitted frock coat. For other references in this universe, our manual winding bronze pocket watch offers an alternative with warmer, more industrial tones.
A gift of character
Some gifts mark a milestone — a graduation, retirement, or milestone birthday that deserves more than an ordinary object. This gold pocket watch with chain falls into this category: it is received, recognized, and kept. For the collector already established, it completes an ensemble; for the newcomer, it constitutes a reference piece. Those who prefer a more singular color may also consider our emerald quartz pocket watch, whose hue creates a remarkable effect upon opening the case.
Frequently asked questions
Does the mechanical movement require a battery or external power source?
No. A mechanical movement operates exclusively on energy accumulated in the barrel spring during manual winding, performed by turning the crown. No battery is involved in its composition. The frequency of winding depends on the power reserve specific to the caliber used.
How do you maintain the chain and gold case to preserve their brilliance over time?
Regular wiping with a soft, non-abrasive cloth is sufficient for the case and chain. It is advised to avoid prolonged contact with moisture, perfumes, and chemicals. Annual cleaning by a watchmaker also allows verification of link tension and clasp condition.
Can this watch be stored for long periods without being worn or wound?
Yes, provided it is stored in a dry environment, protected from shocks and significant temperature variations. However, it remains recommended to wind and let it run for a few hours every few weeks to maintain proper lubrication of the gears.
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.
