Crown pocket watch 12h: the double hunter in majesty
A gentle press on the crown positioned at 12 o'clock, and both covers glide open in silence, revealing a dial whose fine hands measure time with absolute regularity. The crown pocket watch 12h with double hunter case embodies a form of watchmaking where every gesture matters — where checking the time becomes a deliberate pause, almost ceremonial. The double-cover case, polished to a lustrous finish, catches the ambient light and redistributes it in silvery flashes. Here, nothing is superfluous: three sober indices, readability without compromise, a timepiece architecture that speaks as eloquently to the heritage of great manufactures as to the contemporary collector's sensibility. Carrying this piece is choosing to slow the tempo of everyday life.
The art of distinction
- Each glance at the time transforms into a gesture of elegance — a ritual that sets its wearer apart in any gathering.
- A piece of character to pass down, it crosses generations without aging, carrying with it the memory of moments that matter.
- The double cover protects the dial from shocks and daily dust, guaranteeing discreet reliability over the long term.
- Opening by pressing the crown at 12 o'clock is a rare mechanism in contemporary pocket watch horology — a gestural singularity as much as a technical one.

How to wear the double hunter pocket watch?
The three-piece suit remains its natural setting: slipped into the waistcoat pocket, the chain knotted to a button, it punctuates a formal silhouette with quiet authority. For a ceremony — wedding, prize ceremony, black-tie evening — this polished silver double hunter complements a tuxedo or morning coat with a rare style coherence. Devotees of Victorian or neo-retro aesthetics will readily pair it with an embroidered waistcoat and matching cufflinks. For those wishing to explore other mechanical expressions, the automatic mechanical pocket watch offers an alternative for daily wear, without manual winding.
A gift of character
Offering this pocket watch with crown opening is offering an object that demands to be held, opened, gazed upon — far removed from gifts one puts away. It accompanies a diploma presentation, a retirement or a milestone birthday with just the right gravity. For occasions calling for something even more sumptuous, the luxury watch adorned with diamonds extends this same exigency toward a register of haute horlogerie jewelry.
Frequently asked questions
How does the opening by the crown at 12 o'clock work?
A gentle pressure on the crown positioned at 12 o'clock triggers a spring mechanism that releases both covers of the case simultaneously. This system, characteristic of the polished double hunter pocket watch, allows immediate access to the dial without directly manipulating the bezels.
Does this watch need regular winding and how should it be maintained?
The mechanical movement requires regular manual winding via the crown. For maintenance, gentle wiping of the case with a non-abrasive cloth suffices daily. A thorough cleaning by a watchmaker is advised every three to five years to preserve the movement's precision.
Is this watch suitable for long-term storage or heirloom transmission?
A mechanical timepiece with a closed double-cover case lends itself particularly well to preservation. Stored away from humidity, magnetic fields and significant temperature variations, this polished silver piece maintains its integrity over several decades and remains transmissible as-is.
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.
