What sets it apart from a basic pocket watch
Description
Engraved Wooden Pocket Watch with mechanical movement, hunter case and engraved cover. Protected dial classic lid.
Engraved mechanical hunter pocket watch — bronze with black dial
On the bronze lid, a relief-engraved scene: animal figures caught in scrolling volutes, framed by a crisp geometric border. The work is deep; the metal comes alive in the light. This pierced cover is a half-hunter — it protects the crystal while letting you glimpse the time and, behind it, the golden wheels of an open skeleton movement. Open it and the black dial appears, sober and dense, crossed by tall blue Roman numerals echoed by three hands in the same deep blue. The bronze case does not imitate the antique — it owns its material and its patina, with no false gilding. A men's pocket watch with character, for the man who chooses his objects with intent.
The art of distinction
- Carrying this piece means claiming a deliberate relationship with time — stepping out of the digital stream to return to the act of winding and reading a dial.
- An object to pass on as much as to own, it belongs to a tradition of mechanical timepieces meant to cross generations without losing their character.
- The mechanical movement, free of any battery, keeps pace with daily life without interruption as long as the winding crown is turned regularly.
- The pierced lid, the animal engraving and the visible skeleton form a rare accord between ornament and mechanics — a bronze pocket watch unlike any other in its class.
How to wear a hunter pocket watch?
Slipped into the waistcoat pocket of a slate-grey three-piece suit, the chain hanging discreetly, it completes a formal silhouette without weighing it down. More freely, it pairs with a corduroy waistcoat over a white shirt. Lovers of industrial aesthetics will match it with a leather jacket and copper details, close in spirit to our gold double-hunter cased model, where warm tones meet mechanical precision.
A gift with character
For a milestone birthday, a graduation or a retirement, this bronze timepiece is offered as a piece of life. Presented in a wooden box with its chain, it takes the form of a considered gesture. Those who want bold engraving and visible mechanics will find an echo in the other hunter pieces of the collection.

Frequently asked questions
How does the mechanical movement of this pocket watch work?
The mechanical movement is driven by a barrel spring wound manually via the crown. It needs no battery. The golden wheels, visible through the pierced lid and skeleton dial, show the mechanism at work.
Should this watch be wound every day, and how is it cared for?
A daily winding, ideally at a fixed time, keeps the movement accurate. Avoid shocks and prolonged humidity; wiping the bronze case with a non-abrasive cloth preserves its patina.
Is this watch suited to long-term keeping and passing on?
A well-maintained mechanical movement can run for several decades. For long storage, keep it in its box away from light and humidity, and have it serviced every five to eight years.
