Double Hunter Skeleton Pocket Watch: Pure Silver
There exists in the double hunter skeleton pocket watch a quiet gravity that few timepieces know how to express. The moment the front cover opens, the eye descends upon a white dial ringed with Roman numerals, where slender hands progress with metronomic precision. Turn the piece over: the pierced caseback unveils the gears in their silent, oiled, inexorable ballet. The silvered case with its smooth profile—characteristic of the double hunter—protects the whole with elegant austerity, two covers closed upon their secret like two metal eyelids. The winding crown, understated, invites each morning that ancestral gesture which binds man to his watch. No screen, no battery: only mechanics and time.
The Art of Distinction
- To wear this piece is to inhabit an inherited gesture—that of drawing the watch from one's waistcoat, pressing its pusher, reading the hour as one turns the page of an ancient book.
- A collectible object in its own right, it inscribes itself within a lineage of timepieces to be transmitted, bearers of a watchmaking memory that quartz watches could never claim.
- Daily manual winding is not a constraint: it is a rendezvous, an intention placed upon the day beginning, a way of remaining master of the time one gives.
- Double protection by covers confers upon this skeleton movement a structural rarity—the mechanics reveal or conceal themselves according to the desire of their owner.

How to Wear the Double Hunter Flip Pocket Watch?
The silver double flip pocket watch finds its natural place in the pocket of a three-piece waistcoat, linked by a chain passed through the buttonhole—ceremonial dress, wedding, or assumed city elegance. For a freer register, it integrates beautifully into a contemporary dandy aesthetic: velvet jacket, Claudine collar shirt, visible braces. Steampunk enthusiasts will appreciate its silvered case paired with pieces such as this Roman numeral pocket watch, to compose a coherent ensemble where each horological detail dialogues with the others.
A Gift of Character
To give a mechanical flip pocket watch is to choose an object that resembles no other present. For a father passionate about antique horology, a son entering active life, an enthusiast of fine mechanics or a collector seeking a piece of pronounced character—this watch speaks to those who know how to look. It slips carefully into its case, and for those wishing to compose a coherent ensemble, a steampunk necklace will naturally complete the offering.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the skeleton mechanism of this mechanical flip pocket watch function?
The manual winding mechanical movement is partially skeletonized—this is what one calls a skeleton. The bridges and plates are hollowed to allow the gears, hairspring and escapement in motion to appear. The pierced caseback of the double hunter case allows observation of this mechanics without opening the rear cover.
How often must this silver flip pocket watch be wound?
Daily winding is sufficient in most cases. It is accomplished by gently turning the winding crown clockwise until a slight resistance is felt. It is preferable not to force beyond this point in order to preserve the mainspring over time.
Is this piece suitable for long-term preservation or collection use?
Absolutely. A mechanical timepiece with manual winding, kept safe from humidity and shocks, can traverse several decades without notable alteration. Watchmaking servicing every five to eight years—cleaning and lubrication of the gears—is sufficient to maintain the regularity of the movement over time.
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.
