Roman Numeral Pocket Watch — Double Hunter Steel Case
Drawing a roman numeral pocket watch from your waistcoat is to suspend ordinary time itself. The stainless steel double hunter case opens with that familiar click belonging to the finest timepieces — revealing an immaculate white dial where roman numerals dictate the hours with unequivocal nobility. Behind this serene face beats a mechanical movement with manual winding: gears that exist only through the gesture of their wearer. The crown, turned each morning like a discrete ritual, infuses this mechanism with its own life, distinct from any battery and free from electronic dependence. Polished steel, mineral glass, front cover and back cover — this roman numeral pocket watch for men is a statement of assured elegance, addressed to those who recognise in an object its true value.
The Art of Distinction
- Carrying this timepiece is to choose a slower, more conscious relationship with time — that of an era when consulting the hour was a deliberate gesture.
- A piece to pass down as much as to wear, this steel double hunter crosses generations without dulling its lustre or legibility.
- Daily manual winding creates a tangible relationship between man and his mechanical pocket watch — a morning ritual that anchors the day.
- The pairing of white dial and roman numerals confers upon this mechanical men's pocket watch an immediately recognisable visual identity, far from the cluttered dials of contemporary design.

How to Wear the Double Pocket Watch
Slipped into the waistcoat pocket of a three-piece suit, the chain traversing the buttonhole, this watch returns to its original posture — that of notaries and engineers of the past century. In formal evening wear, it advantageously replaces any wristwatch through its ostentatious discretion. For a more contemporary look, it is worn as a pendant over an open shirt or fixed to the loop of a robust leather belt. Those seeking a bolder aesthetic will find, in a skeleton pocket watch with openworked dial, an alternative to exposed gears that dialogues beautifully with this classic piece.
A Gift of Character
For Father's Day, a milestone birthday, or entry into professional life, this mechanical pocket watch conveys what words struggle to express: esteem for someone who appreciates enduring objects. Presented in its case, it accompanies a retirement as well as a wedding ceremony. Those seeking an alternative to manual winding may consider a men's automatic pocket watch — another language, the same exigence.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the manual winding mechanical movement in this watch function?
The mechanical movement is powered by a mainspring that is manually tensioned by turning the winding crown, generally clockwise. Without battery or electronic circuit, it gradually releases the accumulated energy throughout the hours. A daily winding, or every two days depending on power reserve, is sufficient to maintain proper operation.
What daily maintenance does a stainless steel double hunter case require?
Stainless steel tolerates regular wear without particular care. A gentle wipe with a soft, non-abrasive cloth suffices to preserve its lustre. It is advisable to avoid impacts to the cases and prolonged exposure to humidity. Cleaning of the movement by a qualified watchmaker is recommended every three to five years to maintain precision.
Does this watch preserve well over the long term as a collector's piece?
A properly maintained mechanical movement can function for several decades. Stainless steel resists oxidation and maintains its form over time. For storage in a case, it is advisable to wind the movement once per month to prevent lubrication oils from solidifying within the gears.
The art of the timepiece
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.
