Double Hunter Pocket Watch with Coat of Arms — Royale Mechanical Gold
Held in the palm of your hand, the double hunter pocket watch with coat of arms immediately reveals its true nature: that of a ceremonial timepiece, conceived to traverse generations. Upon the gilded case, a royal coat of arms finely engraved marks the singularity of the piece before one even lifts the cover. A simple press on the winding crown is all that is required — the two snap-backs open as mirror images, exposing on one side the dial with Roman numerals, on the other a commanding view of the mechanical movement's gears. Beneath the crystal, the gears come alive with that silent regularity inherent to fine watchmaking. Neither quartz nor battery: only the tension of a spring, the ballet of an escapement, and time flowing according to its own laws. A piece as much to be admired as it is to be consulted.
The Art of Distinction
- To carry this timepiece is to assert a deliberate relationship with time — one who chooses mechanics when all the world turns digital.
- The engraved coat of arms and the dual snap-back construction make this piece a natural object of transmission, worthy of accompanying a family heirloom or a carefully cultivated collection.
- Manual winding — thirty to forty turns of the crown — establishes a daily ritual that binds the wearer to their timepiece in a way no battery-powered watch can offer.
- The opening of the second cover reveals the entirety of the movement: a rarity of transparency in a closed-case pocket watch, transforming each consultation into an experience unto itself.

How to Wear the Royale Mechanical Pocket Watch
The three-piece suit remains the natural setting for the Royale mechanical pocket watch: the chain threaded through the vest buttonhole, the gilded case resting in the pocket, the coat of arms flush with the fabric's edge. For a formal occasion — wedding, presentation of honors, tailcoat dinner — it brings that detail of elegance that neither cravat nor cufflink can replace. Devotees of Victorian or steampunk aesthetics will readily pair it with a corduroy vest, a high-collar shirt, or a skeleton pocket watch with dark case worn as a pendant chain. In all cases, it is worn with intention — never by chance.
A Gift of Character
Some gifts are forgotten; others mark a milestone. The dual snap-back mechanical pocket watch belongs to the latter category — one given for a passage, a transmission, a significant anniversary. It suits the man who collects fine mechanisms, the history enthusiast who will recognize the coat of arms at first glance, or one whom you wish to introduce to antique watchmaking. For those seeking to deepen this pursuit, the automatic pocket watch with open dial constitutes a natural complement to any burgeoning collection.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the dual cover mechanism of this watch work?
A press on the upper crown simultaneously releases both snap-backs, exposing on one side the Roman numeral dial, on the other the mechanical movement in direct view. This system, known as the Royale double glass pocket watch, relies on a push-button mechanism integrated into the case, without requiring finger intervention on the covers themselves.
How often must this watch be wound and how is it done?
Winding is performed by turning the upper crown 30 to 40 rotations clockwise. Once wound, the movement provides sufficient running autonomy for daily wear. Winding at a fixed time each morning remains the best way to maintain consistent timekeeping regularity.
Is this watch suitable for long-term preservation or transmission?
A luxury pocket watch engraved in gilded case, free of batteries and founded on a mechanical movement, preserves very well if wound regularly and kept away from moisture. In case of prolonged storage, an examination of the movement's oil by a watchmaker is recommended after five years without maintenance.
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.
