The hunter's watch that dares colour, lacquered case with cover
There exist timepieces that make no effort to be forgotten. The Quartz Chasseur Colorful Moderne is one such piece — a pocket watch with lacquered case whose bold hue, reminiscent of hunter green in its emerald iteration, stands in contrast to the restraint of classical collections. The cover opens at a press of the winding crown, revealing a white dial with crisp Arabic indices, traversed by three hands whose precision is orchestrated by quartz movement. The matte, lacquered surface of the case captures light without fracturing it — contained brilliance, affirmed elegance. To wear this timepiece at the end of a waistcoat chain is to choose a chromatic presence deliberately assumed within a horological universe often confined to polished metal or deep black. A piece that commands attention before even telling the hour.
The art of distinction
- To wear this timepiece is to assert a colourist sensibility where pocket-watch horology so often remains monochromatic — a discreet yet decisive manner of singularising one's appearance.
- An accessible collector's piece, it embodies a philosophy of transmission: these covered-case watches, associated with nineteenth-century imagination, today recover new vitality and pride of place in contemporary display cases.
- The quartz movement ensures reliable timekeeping in daily life, without winding ritual — the integrated battery lasts two to five years and is replaced by simply opening the case back.
- The vivid-coloured lacquered case constitutes this piece's primary identity: where most pocket watches embrace the neutrality of metal, this one claims a palette — saturated hue, matte finish, immediately recognisable character.

How to wear a Quartz Pocket Watch?
The Quartz Chasseur Colorful Moderne slips naturally into the pocket of a waistcoat — classic three-piece suit in grey wool or tweed, where the lacquered case's colour creates an elegant counterpoint to the fabric's sobriety. It accompanies equally well a structured steampunk ensemble, between corset, leather and copper accessories, as one might imagine alongside a timepiece of maritime character, such as this helm model of affirmed personality. For more casual wear, it suspends as a pendant over an open white shirt, the case's colour then playing the role of jewellery in its own right.
A gift of character
To offer a pocket watch is to transmit an object belonging to another temporality — slower, more attentive. The Quartz Chasseur Colorful Moderne suits the collector of unusual pocket pieces, those beginning their journey into antique horology, or those seeking a singular gift for a birthday, diploma ceremony, or celebration. For an occasion demanding greater solemnity, the gold jasper model proposes a more mineral and precious aesthetic, befitting life's decisive moments.
Frequently asked questions
How does the mechanism of this quartz pocket watch function?
The quartz movement is powered by a battery housed in the case back, accessible without specialised tools. It regulates the three hands with constant precision, requiring no daily winding. The battery's indicative lifespan is two to five years depending on usage.
How should the lacquered case be maintained and scratches avoided?
The matte lacquered surface is sensitive to direct impact and abrasive materials. It is advisable to store the timepiece in its box or a soft fabric pouch when not being worn. A dry microfibre cloth suffices to restore the surface's lustre without altering it.
Is this watch suitable for long-term conservation in a collection?
Yes, provided the battery is removed if the watch is to remain inactive for several months — a depleted battery left in place can oxidise internal contacts. Preserved away from humidity and temperature fluctuations, the piece maintains good condition over the long term.
The art of the timepiece
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.
