Women's Necklace Pocket Watch: The Owl Guardian of Hours
There are timepieces worn at the wrist, and others worn close to the heart. The Colorful Owl women's necklace pocket watch belongs to this second family — that of pieces which tell a story before even being opened. Suspended from its carabiner chain, it rests against the chest with the discretion of an antique jewel and the presence of a talisman. The hinged case conceals a dial populated by an owl with large round eyes, vibrant and colorful, revealed with each consultation like a small confidence. The mechanisms work in silence, faithful to their primary vocation: to measure time with seriousness, to elevate it with imagination. A rare balance, between mechanical rigor and ornamental sensitivity, which makes this pocket watch necklace a complete accessory in the vocabulary of feminine elegance.
The Art of Distinction
- To wear this timepiece is to affirm a relationship with time that refuses the obvious — a way of inhabiting the moment with greater depth than any telephone screen will ever allow.
- Through its careful craftsmanship and its timeless animal motif, this piece traverses generations without aging — it is passed down as much as it is worn, charged with the memory of who chose it.
- The carabiner chain frees the hands, keeps the time within sight and eliminates the constraint of the wrist — a freedom of movement that imperceptibly changes the day.
- The colorful owl engraved on the dial makes each consultation a suspended moment: neither ordinary watch nor simple jewel, this pocket watch necklace occupies singular territory between the two.

Frequently Asked Questions
What type of movement powers this watch and how does it work?
The movement is mechanical: it functions through a system of springs and gears, without a battery. It should be wound regularly via the crown according to the power reserve specific to the caliber. This type of movement requires moderate attention but offers appreciable longevity.
Is the chain sturdy for daily wear and how should the case be maintained?
The chain is equipped with a carabiner clasp designed for secure daily attachment. For case maintenance, a soft cloth is sufficient to preserve the surface's luster. It is advisable to avoid prolonged contact with moisture and to store the watch away from dust when not being worn.
How to preserve this piece over time if received as a gift?
Kept in its box or a fabric-lined watch case, away from heat and direct light, a mechanical watch of this type retains its qualities over many years. Regular winding, even during periods of non-wear, helps maintain the suppleness of the mechanism.
The Art of Timekeeping
At UNIVERS GOUSSET, the pocket watch predates the wristwatch by more than a century.

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.
