The Golden Skeleton Hunter Case — Exposed Gears
Opening a hunter case pocket watch is to lift the silence and let time speak. Here, the double golden cover case unveils, in a single gesture, a skeletonized dial where the gears turn freely before your eyes. Golden Roman numerals articulate the skeleton dial like the ribs of a living mechanism. No artifice, no hidden mystery: the manual-winding mechanical movement offers itself in full light, each gear tooth completing its revolution with the regularity inherent to timepieces built to endure. The silvered case closes upon itself in two movements, protecting the whole with that sealed architecture characteristic of double-hunter pocket watches. An object to contemplate before even reading the time.
The Art of Distinction
- Carrying this hunter case pocket watch introduces into your day an instant of slowness — that moment when you pause to observe time rather than submit to it.
- A mechanical timepiece built without battery or circuit, it transcends generations without programmed obsolescence and can be transmitted as a tangible heritage.
- The double cover protects the movement from daily shocks and dust, guaranteeing preserved precision without excessive handling.
- Unlike single-facade skeleton watches, this double-hunter pocket watch reveals its architecture on both faces, making each opening a distinct gesture.

How to Wear This Golden Hunter Case Pocket Watch?
In daily wear, this double-cover pocket watch finds its natural place in the pocket of a three-piece waistcoat, the chain passed through the buttonhole according to the tradition of classic pocket watches. For more formal occasions — dark suit or frock coat — it plays the role of a discreet horological detail that distinguishes without ostentation. It may also be worn as a pendant thanks to the pocket watch chain provided, a way to display it on a structured outfit or in a more assertive register, between heritage and contemporary style.
A Gift of Character
A mechanical hunter case pocket watch with exposed gears suits one who appreciates objects built to last — a horology enthusiast, collector of fine pieces, or beginning collector. For a milestone birthday, graduation, or retirement, it stands as both a functional and symbolic object. Presented in a presentation case, it assumes the dimension of a gift one keeps, shows, and passes down.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the mechanical movement of this hunter case pocket watch function?
The manual-winding mechanical movement operates without a battery. It is powered by a mainspring that you tension manually by turning the crown. This stored energy is gradually released through the train of visible gears on the skeleton dial, driving the hands in continuous motion.
How often must this hunter case pocket watch be wound?
Daily winding, performed each morning at a fixed hour, suffices to maintain regular movement. It is advisable to turn the crown gently, without forcing at the end of its travel, so as not to excessively strain the mainspring and preserve its longevity.
How should this double-cover pocket watch be preserved long-term?
Sheltered from humidity and magnetic fields, the mechanical movement remains stable over many years. Professional servicing every three to five years permits lubrication of pivots and inspection of components. The closed double cover protects the mechanism when the watch is not being worn.
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.
