Gold double hunter pocket watch — where gold and time unite
There exist objects that do not quite belong to the present moment. This gold double hunter pocket watch is among them: the moment one grasps it, the warm metal and density of the case remind us that we hold far more than a mere timekeeper between our fingers. A single gesture on the winding crown suffices — both covers open, revealing on one side the dial with its graceful hands, and on the other the transparent caseback allowing the gears in motion to appear. The mechanism breathes. The gear trains animate themselves with that regularity peculiar to manually-wound watches, where each turn of the stem transmits itself to the next instant. Mineral crystal protects the dial without ever diminishing its legibility. A timepiece that carries within it the memory of the great watchmaking houses, and which offers itself as much to the eye as to the mind.
The art of distinction
- Carrying this timekeeper is to assert a rare horological sensibility — one that prefers the depth of a visible mechanism to the discretion of a closed dial.
- A collector's piece to be passed down, it embodies the link between generations: an object whose value is constructed over time rather than eroded by it.
- Manual winding creates a daily ritual — a few turns of the crown each morning, an attention paid to the passage of time with uncommon awareness.
- The double opening of the hunter case — dial on one side, sapphire caseback on the other — offers two readings of time: the hour read, and time understood through its gears.

How to wear a manually-wound pocket watch?
The three-piece suit remains the natural setting for this watch: slipped into the waistcoat pocket, the chain running along the lapel, it asserts itself with quiet inevitability. For a wedding or formal ceremony, it accompanies a dark suit with a sobriety that captures the gaze without soliciting it. It also lends itself to the steampunk aesthetic, where enthusiasts may draw inspiration from bronze skeleton pocket watches to construct a coherent look. Even worn as a pendant on a long chain, it retains its presence — a freer choice, belonging only to the one who makes it.
A gift of character
To offer this mechanical gold pocket watch is to offer something that endures — a milestone birthday, Father's Day, a wedding, or the achievement of a degree deserve this manner of attention. For a father who collects fine mechanisms, or a man who has never owned a pocket watch, this piece will mark the occasion. Those wishing to expand their collection toward different styles may explore automatic pocket watches with rustic character — another way to appreciate pocket watch horology.
Frequently asked questions
How does the manual winding of this mechanical gold hunter pocket watch function?
Winding is performed by turning the winding crown clockwise, without excessive pressure. The energy accumulated in the mainspring is then gradually restored to the gear train. It is recommended to wind the watch each day at a fixed time, ideally before wearing it, to maintain regular operation.
What maintenance does a high-precision gold pocket watch with mechanical movement require?
A mechanical movement benefits from being serviced every five to eight years by a qualified watchmaker: cleaning of the gears, lubrication of the pivots, verification of the power reserve. Between services, one should avoid shocks, intense magnetic fields, and prolonged moisture. The gold case is maintained with a soft, dry cloth.
Is this manually-wound gold pocket watch suitable for long-term storage?
Yes, provided it is wound regularly even during periods of non-use — or left entirely at rest, spring fully released. For prolonged storage, a closed case protected from light and moisture is advised. Gradual winding upon resuming use allows one to avoid any strain on the mechanism.
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.
