Double Hunter Pocket Watch with Golden Lunar Complication
Slipped into the pocket of a waistcoat, this double hunter pocket watch opens onto a dial that measures both the hours and the moon's longer rhythm. A press on the crown is all it takes: the first cover swings back, then the second reveals the dial in a solemn, almost ceremonial sequence. The gilded case captures light with the restraint befitting a collector timepiece. The moon phase traces its silent arc across it, while the small seconds hand beats with the regularity of a mechanical heart. The gear train, invisible behind the dial, carries out its work without respite — wound by hand, faithful to a watchmaking tradition that has never yielded to the convenience of quartz. A timepiece that speaks before it even tells the time.
The Art of Distinction
- To wear this watch is to introduce into each day a moment of slowness: that moment when you open both covers to check the time, a gesture no touch screen can imitate.
- Designed to pass through generations, it belongs to the category of objects one transmits — not from obligation, but because they embody something precise about the person who wore them.
- The lunar complication pocket watch displays the moon phase and small seconds: two pieces of information one does not strictly need to read, yet consults with particular attention.
- In a world saturated with identical watches, the gold double hunter cover distinguishes its wearer without ostentation — through the uniqueness of the gesture, before even the metal itself.

How to Wear the Double Hunter Pocket Watch
The proper way to wear this mechanical gold pocket watch remains the three-piece suit waistcoat: the snake link chain runs from one buttonhole to the pocket, creating that characteristic golden line of men who know how to take their time. For a more contemporary look, a two-piece suit with integrated waistcoat or a flannel jacket will provide it with a worthy setting. Steampunk aesthetic enthusiasts may explore more liberated pairings — thick leather, jaboted shirt, brass accessories — where it will find, through open-dial timepieces as well as through this closed case, remarkable visual coherence.
A Gift of Character
To offer a lunar phase men's pocket watch is to choose a gift unlike anything else in its presentation box. For Father's Day, a milestone birthday, a graduation, or a well-deserved promotion, this timepiece says what words struggle to express: that the other person's time matters. Those wishing to deepen their selection will find, among our mechanical pocket watches, other timepieces to present with equal intention. A luxury collector pocket watch is not given — it is entrusted.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the double hunter mechanism on this watch work?
The double hunter system features two hinged covers, one on the dial side, the other on the case back. A press on the crown releases the first; a second press opens the second. This device protects the sapphire crystal from shock and dust, while adding a ritual gesture to checking the time.
How do I wind and maintain this mechanical, manually-wound movement?
Winding is performed daily by turning the crown clockwise until you feel a slight resistance — a sign that the mainspring is tensioned. It is advisable to entrust the watch to a qualified watchmaker every three to five years for cleaning and lubrication of the gear train.
Will this watch keep well long-term for eventual transmission?
A mechanical, manually-wound timepiece will last for several decades provided it is stored away from humidity and magnetic fields. Regular winding, even during periods of non-wear, keeps the oils in motion and preserves the mechanism's integrity for transmission under the best conditions.
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.
