Marilyn Quartz Pocket Watch, the Icon Suspended in Time
There are timepieces that measure far more than hours — they embody an era, a face, a grace. This Marilyn quartz pocket watch bears within its polished metal case the image of an icon whose presence has never left the century. Slip it between your fingers: the cover opens onto a dial with Roman numerals of soothing readability, while the Japanese quartz movement beats in silence, without gears to wind or crown to manipulate. Worn as a necklace, the metal chain elevates it to the rank of a timepiece jewel in its own right. Suspended at the neck or nestled in a pocket, it traverses the hours with that quiet elegance that only truly singular pieces know how to sustain over time.
The Art of Distinction
- To wear this timepiece is to choose to leave a presence behind — that of a woman who knows elegance is noticed without imposing itself.
- A tribute to Marilyn Monroe engraved in metal, this piece crosses generations with the quiet authority of objects meant to be passed down.
- The quartz movement eliminates all constraint of daily winding: time flows, faithful, without requiring your concern.
- Necklace or pocket watch — the same piece reinvents itself with each moment, offering a freedom of wear that few timepiece accessories permit.

How to Wear a Quartz Pocket Watch?
The Marilyn Monroe necklace watch is first worn around the neck, over a black dress with a straight collar or a silk blouse — the metal chain naturally assumes the place of a timepiece pendant. For a more structured aesthetic, slip it into the pocket of a tailored waistcoat or double-breasted blazer: the cover peeks through the fabric, discreet and evocative at once. Those who cultivate a retro-bohemian aesthetic will appreciate wearing it layered with other chains in free composition. To explore other ways to style the hunter case pocket watch daily, the Roman half-hunter pocket watch offers an elegant counterpart to this feminine piece.
A Gift of Character
The vintage quartz necklace watch is given for a milestone birthday, to celebrate a passion for classic cinema or simply to say, without superfluous words, that you know someone's taste. It suits a young woman beginning to build her style, as much as a woman whose horological collection deserves a narrative piece. For those wishing to expand their gift universe, the RR Special pocket watch complements this collection ideally with a different character.
Frequently Asked Questions
What type of movement powers this women's chain pocket watch?
The timepiece is powered by a Japanese quartz movement fed by battery. This caliber ensures constant precision without regular intervention from the wearer. No manual winding is necessary: the mechanism operates in complete autonomy until battery replacement.
How should the metal chain and case be maintained daily?
A soft, non-abrasive cloth is sufficient to restore the shine of the polished metal. It is advisable to avoid prolonged contact with moisture, perfumes, and cosmetic products. The chain can be carefully untangled if necessary. Regular and simple maintenance significantly extends the durability of the silver color.
Is this vintage Marilyn pocket watch suitable for long-term storage?
The robust metal case and quartz movement, mechanically stress-free, make this piece an object designed to last. For prolonged storage, keep away from direct light and humidity. Periodic battery replacement, approximately every one to two years, is sufficient to keep the timepiece in working order.
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.
