Heart-shaped openwork pocket watch: watchmaking worn close to the heart
The heart-shaped openwork pocket watch presents itself to the eye as a suspended confidence. The moment fingertips brush the cover, the pierced décor hints at the dial before the casing even opens — a transparency play characteristic of the finest half-hunter pieces. The case, dressed in a silvered and bronze alliance, carries within it the warmth of patinas from another era. The crown, the engraved bezel, the mineral crystal that protects the dial without stealing its light: each detail testifies to watchmaking that took time to render itself beautiful. Worn as a pendant on its chain, this pocket watch necklace does not merely decorate — it extends a gesture, that of bringing one's hand to one's chest to consult the time as one might open an ancient letter.
The art of distinction
- Wearing a watch at the heart of oneself — as a pendant rather than on the wrist — is choosing a more intimate, almost secret relationship with time.
- A piece at the intersection of jewel and timekeeper, it transcends generations without aging: a legacy as much to pass down as to wear.
- The quartz movement ensures constant precision without regular maintenance, leaving all attention to the aesthetic beauty of the piece.
- The heart-shaped openwork cover creates a dialogue between solid and void, a rare singularity in contemporary pocket watchmaking.

How to wear the heart-shaped pocket watch necklace?
Slipped beneath a buttoned-to-the-top shirt collar, the heart-shaped half-hunter pendant watch emerges as a discreet locket — a natural alliance with silk blouses or Victorian corsages. For a more assertive spirit, it pairs with a long, dark coat, evoking the aesthetic of curiosity cabinets. Steampunk enthusiasts will find in it an ideal companion to complete a look featuring exposed gears — explore as well our steampunk timepieces, whose visual philosophy dialogues perfectly with this heart pendant. Worn short on a structured dress, it becomes the only jewel necessary.
A gift of character
A birthday, a Valentine's Day, a first watchmaking jewel offered to a growing daughter: the heart-shaped pocket watch necklace lends itself to those moments when one seeks an object that endures longer than the occasion. For those wishing to deepen their discovery of precious metal pocket pieces, the silver pocket watch collection naturally extends this exploration. Presented in a case, it conveys what words struggle to express: the care taken in choosing a rare gift.
Frequently asked questions
What type of movement powers this watch and how does it function?
The watch is powered by a quartz movement fed by battery. This caliber regulates time through the oscillations of a quartz crystal, offering precision on the order of a few seconds per month, without regular mechanical intervention from the wearer.
How should I care for the silver and bronze case daily?
A soft, dry cloth is sufficient to preserve the case's brilliance. Avoid prolonged contact with moisture, perfumes, and household products. The bronze patina that may deepen over time is inherent to the material and contributes to the vintage character of the piece.
Does this piece preserve well over the long term?
Stored away from direct light and humidity, preferably in its original box or a closed case, the watch maintains its condition without notable alteration. It is advisable to remove the battery in case of prolonged non-use to prevent any internal oxidation.
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.
