Copper Hunter Pocket Watch with Mythological Engravings
The Erbium copper hunter pocket watch imposes itself at first glance as a relic of industrial time, forged at the crossroads of myth and mechanics. Its hinged case, tinged with deep black and copper reflections, shelters a dial whose Roman numerals trace the hours with the discreet authority of timepieces past. Resting in the palm of the hand, it radiates the density of objects conceived to endure — not years, but generations. The openworked glass allows a glimpse of the gears in motion, that silent ballet every horology enthusiast recognizes as a signature. The winding crown, precise beneath the thumb, recalls the daily gesture by which one aligns oneself with time. Here, metal speaks before words.
The Art of Distinction
- Wearing this piece is to introduce into one's appearance a narrative depth that no ordinary accessory could offer — each engraved detail tells its story without need for words.
- A collectible object as much as a timekeeper, it naturally inscribes itself within a heritage to be transmitted, bearing within it the memory of an aesthetic now past that few still master.
- The quartz movement ensures reliable timekeeping day after day, without the rigour of daily life diminishing the beauty of the whole.
- The mythological motifs engraved — dragons and birds of fire — confer upon this timekeeper a singular character that no anonymous industrial series will reproduce identically.

How to Wear a Full Hunter Pocket Watch?
In its most classic form, the copper Roman numeral pocket watch slips into the waistcoat pocket of a dark three-piece suit, linked to the buttonhole by a patinated metal chain — a posture inherited directly from the nineteenth century. For a deliberate steampunk aesthetic, it accompanies a leather jacket, gears worn as brooch and laced ankle boots with copper eyelets, forming a coherent ensemble of which it becomes the keystone. One might also consider wearing it as a pendant on a waxed cord, in the manner of certain mechanical pendant watches designed for this hybrid use, between worn jewel and horological instrument.
A Gift of Character
Offered for a milestone birthday, a diploma presentation or father-to-son transmission, this copper steampunk pocket watch transcends the category of ordinary gift to enter that of objects one keeps. It suits those who collect vintage timepieces, who dress with care, or simply those who deserve something rare. For those wishing to explore other worn forms, the bronze pendant pocket watch offers an elegant alternative to give as a complement.
Frequently Asked Questions
What type of movement equips this copper hinged pocket watch, and are the gears truly visible?
The movement is quartz type, powered by battery. The openworked glass placed over the dial face allows observation of part of the working gears, offering the appearance of a living mechanism without requiring the maintenance of a traditional mechanical calibre.
How to maintain the black case and copper engravings over time?
A soft, dry cloth suffices to remove fingerprints and dust without altering the finishes. It is advisable to avoid prolonged exposure to moisture and chemical products. The relief engravings, notably on the engraved dragon pocket watch, are well preserved with regular and gentle cleaning.
Is this piece suitable for long-term preservation or collection use?
Absolutely. The copper gothic pocket watch is preserved away from direct light and significant thermal variations, ideally in a closed case. The battery can be easily replaced by a watchmaker, which guarantees the timekeeper a functional life spanning several decades.
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.
