Product Details

Gothic men's pocket watch: the skull that measures time

There exist timepieces that do more than simply indicate the hour — they assert a vision of the world. This gothic men's watch, suspended from its chain like a watchmaker's talisman, opens onto a refined white dial whose classical numeral indices evoke the great pocket watches of the past century. The case, sculpted in the form of a silvered skull and a direct heir to memento mori aesthetics, houses a quartz movement of uncompromising precision. Closed, it is a distinctive piece worn at the heart; open, it reveals the rigorous measure of passing time. Between patinated bronze and satin silver, between assumed fantasy and watchmaking seriousness, this pendant-watch traces a singular line at the frontier between jewel and timepiece.

The art of distinction

  • Wearing this skull at the neck is choosing an avowed aesthetic rather than a conventional accessory — the watch becomes a signature.
  • A vintage fantasy piece at the intersection of horology and jewellery, it inscribes itself within a tradition of neck watches that traverse decades without aging.
  • The quartz movement frees one from any winding constraint: the dial remains accurate, day after day, without intervention.
  • Its skull form with cover distinguishes it radically from conventional chain watches — neither ordinary jewel nor wristwatch, it occupies a territory that is entirely its own.

How to wear the Skull Neck Watch?

Over a black velvet waistcoat buttoned to the collar, the silvered skull slips naturally into the pocket or rests on the chest like a living brooch — the reference to period three-piece costume is immediate. For an avowed steampunk register, it pairs with a jacket trimmed in copper and with distinctive timepieces worn in superposition. In a more refined attire — open black shirt, long coat — it plays the role of sole focal point, sculptural enough to require no accompaniment. The length of the chain allows adjustment according to neckline.

A gift of character

For a milestone birthday, an unconventional Valentine's Day, or simply to acknowledge someone whose style escapes categories, this pendant-watch answers where conventional gifts no longer know how to reach. It may also accompany a bronze pocket watch in a shared case, forming a coherent ensemble for an amateur of fantasy horology. An object one preserves, displays, and passes on.

Frequently asked questions

What movement powers this pendant-watch, and must it be wound?

The timepiece is powered by a quartz movement fed by battery. No manual winding is necessary. Battery replacement can be performed by any watchmaker or jeweller, and extends the mechanism's operation for several years depending on usage.

Is the chain included, and how should the silvered case be maintained?

The chain is supplied with the watch. To maintain the case, a soft non-abrasive cloth suffices to restore the lustre of the metal. It is advisable to avoid prolonged contact with water, perfumes, and chemical products that may alter the silver finish over time.

Is this piece suitable for long-term storage or daily wear?

The hinged construction effectively protects the dial from light impacts and dust, making it a piece equally suited to regular wear or storage in a case. For optimal longevity, simply avoid direct impacts to the sculpted case.

The gesture that sets you apart

Opening the case, checking the time, closing it again — a rare gesture, one that never goes unnoticed. At Univers Gousset, we only select pieces worthy of it.

The gift that never goes out of style

A present that won't end up forgotten in a drawer. Every watch leaves in its own case, ready to be given — and built to last long after it's opened.

The mechanism that doesn't cheat

Beneath the case, a real movement — gears built to last, not to look good in a photo. That's the difference between a watch and an accessory.
