Women's open face pocket watch: time laid bare
There are timepieces that merely tell the hour, and then there are those that reveal what watchmaking holds most precious: the beauty of the movement itself. This women's open face pocket watch belongs to the latter category. Its gilded case, adorned with engravings in royal style, frames a skeletonized dial that allows the silent dance of the gears to appear. The crown, nestled on the side of the case, evokes the ancestral gesture by which one breathes life back into the mechanism. Beneath the mineral crystal, the gears articulate with sober and captivating precision. No superfluous seconds hand, no parasitic display — only the essential: time, visible in its mechanical truth, suspended between the fingers of a woman of refined taste.
The art of distinction
- To carry this timepiece is to choose to slow down: each consultation becomes a moment of presence, a contemplative pause before the movement of the gears.
- A piece engraved with artisanal craftsmanship, it crosses generations without aging — a natural candidate for transmission, much like a family heirloom.
- Manual winding maintains a daily bond between the woman and her watch: an intimate ritual that replaces the mere checking of the hour.
- Where most watches conceal their mechanics, the open dial makes it the central subject — a rare stance that distinguishes the one who wears it.

How to wear a women's pocket watch
The feminine pocket watch lends itself to more varied styling combinations than one might think. Slipped into the pocket of an embroidered waistcoat over a long dress, it signs a romantic and structured look. Worn as a pendant on a delicate gold chain with a lavallière collar blouse, it becomes the central jewel of an elegant and singular silhouette. For a look with steampunk accents, it attaches to a braided leather belt over a corset — and it is then that it joins the codes of pieces such as this women's bronze pocket watch, with warm hues and assertive character. Each wearing is a declaration.
A gift of character
Some gifts are forgotten, others are inherited. A royal engraved women's pocket watch belongs to the latter category: it is offered for a milestone birthday, a diploma, a birth, or simply to tell someone that the time spent with them deserves to be celebrated. For those hesitating between several case shapes, the double hunter pocket watch constitutes a complementary alternative, with a more closed and protective character.
Frequently asked questions
How does the mechanical movement of this pocket watch work?
The mechanical movement is driven by a mainspring that is tensioned manually via the crown. This spring progressively releases its energy through a gear train regulated by the escapement and the balance wheel-hairspring. No battery is involved in this process — precision relies entirely on mechanics.
Can this mechanical open face pocket watch be worn every day?
Yes, provided you wind it regularly — ideally every morning, with a few turns of the crown. It is also advisable to keep it away from shocks, moisture, and intense magnetic fields. Reasonable daily use prolongs the life of the movement without requiring frequent servicing.
How to preserve this piece long-term if it is given as a gift?
If the watch is not worn for an extended period, it is advisable to store it away from direct light and humidity, in a case or soft fabric pouch. Occasional winding, even without active wear, maintains the suppleness of the spring and preserves the integrity of the movement.
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.
