Bronze butterfly necklace watch — time suspended at the neck
The bronze butterfly necklace watch belongs to that rare family of timepieces that transcend their primary function. Worn as a pendant, it sways gently against the chest, reminding you with every movement that it is there — alive, discreet, complicit. The engraved bronze case conceals beneath its butterfly-shaped clasp a dial of soothing legibility, revealed by a simple press of the crown. This opening gesture, repeated a hundred times a day, becomes ritual. The patinated bronze is not a frozen finish: it evolves, hollowing slightly at the reliefs, developing over time that warm hue that no lacquer could imitate. The Japanese quartz movement, housed in this cased cover, ensures unfailing punctuality — the mechanical soul of a piece with resolutely vintage character.
The art of distinction
- To wear this vintage quartz necklace watch is to choose an accessory that speaks before words — a presence that intrigues and invites inquiry.
- The patinated bronze inscribes the piece within a long duration: it will traverse the years while gaining character, worthy of being passed down as a tangible memory.
- The adjustable chain allows three ways to wear it — close to the neck, classic pendant, long sautoir — to adapt effortlessly to every occasion and neckline.
- The butterfly clasp cover transforms the consultation of time into a gesture unique to this piece alone: no other timepiece shares this opening.

How to wear the butterfly quartz necklace watch?
In sautoir length over a lavallière collar shirt, the bronze butterfly women's watch creates a coppery counterpoint of studied sobriety. Tightened close to the neck over a black dress with open neckline, it plays the card of precious ornament without ostentation. For a more bohemian or literary register — velvet jacket, jabbot blouse — wear it as a classic pendant, letting the clasp swing freely. Enthusiasts of steampunk or retro universes will find in this vintage women's necklace watch a natural companion, to be paired without hesitation with other fine pendants such as this quartz cat pendant watch, to compose a piece of character.
A gift of character
For a birthday, a diploma presentation or simply to mark a date worthy of it, this timepiece stands apart from ordinary gifts. It is not merely beautiful — it measures someone's time. Those who collect covered pieces will appreciate adding this butterfly quartz pendant watch to their collection, while pocket watch enthusiasts will also consult the gold mirror pocket watch to complete a collection treasure chest.
Frequently asked questions
How does the butterfly clasp opening mechanism work?
A gentle press on the crown positioned at twelve o'clock releases the engraved clasp in butterfly form, which lowers forward and reveals the dial. The mechanism is spring-loaded: the cover closes with a simple thumb push. No tool is necessary to operate this opening.
Does bronze require special maintenance to preserve its appearance?
Bronze patinates naturally through contact with skin and air — this is a desired evolution, not a defect. To slow this process, wipe the case after wearing with a soft dry cloth. Avoid prolonged exposure to humidity and cosmetic products.
Is this watch suitable for long-term storage or transmission?
The engraved bronze case and the battery-powered quartz movement are both conducive to long storage, provided the battery is removed before any prolonged storage. Stored in its box away from light, the piece traverses the years without notable structural alteration.
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.
