Open Face Watch: The Silver That Unveils the Hour
An open face watch does more than simply indicate the time — it displays it, stages it, transforms the mere act of consulting time into a gesture of character. This timepiece features a silver case with brilliant finishing, whose lustre naturally draws the eye before it even rests upon the dial. At its center, luminous Roman numerals stand out against a deep black background, offering a striking contrast between light and darkness. The crown, understated and well-positioned, recalls horological tradition while serving here a quartz movement of rigorous precision. To hold this piece in hand is to feel the quiet weight of an object conceived to endure — and to be seen.
The Art of Distinction
- To wear this timepiece is to choose to slow time with a gesture, to transform the consultation of the hour into a moment of presence rather than a distracted reflex.
- A piece of classical line that transcends fashion without following it, destined to be passed down as a tangible memory of taste and sobriety.
- The quartz movement guarantees constant precision in daily use, without the regular attention demanded by mechanical watchmaking — the discreet reliability of a battery that can last several years.
- The open dial with luminous Roman numerals on a black background is a rare visual signature among modern pocket watches: legible by day and night alike, elegant in all circumstances.

How to Wear the Quartz Pocket Watch
The silhouette of this open watch naturally calls for the three-piece suit: slipped into the waistcoat pocket, the chain forming a discreet arc across the fabric, it marks a ceremonial outfit with restraint and good taste. For a more relaxed evening, it pairs with a corduroy waistcoat worn over a white shirt with rolled sleeves. Those who cultivate a more singular aesthetic will find in it an elegant complement to a steampunk-inspired look — to be paired, for instance, with a bronze watch of warmer character to compose an ensemble of two contrasting timepieces.
A Gift of Character
Certain gifts mark a milestone — a diploma presentation, a retirement, a well-deserved promotion. This silver quartz pocket watch embodies those moments when one wishes to offer something tangible, something bearing intention. For those who hesitate between several styles, the steel half-hunter pocket watch constitutes an alternative with a protective cover, ideal for more daily use. Two pieces, two characters, one same demand for excellence.
Frequently Asked Questions
What type of movement powers this quartz pocket watch, and what is its precision in daily use?
The quartz movement regulates time display through electronic oscillations, offering precision on the order of a few seconds per month. Unlike a mechanical movement, it requires neither daily winding nor frequent adjustment. The battery ensures autonomous operation for two to five years depending on usage.
How should the silver case be maintained to preserve its lustre over time?
A soft, non-abrasive cloth is sufficient for routine case maintenance. Prolonged contact with moisture, perfumes, and chemicals should be avoided. In case of light tarnishing, a product suited to silver finishes restores the metal's initial brilliance without risk of scratching the surface.
Can this piece be stored for long periods without being worn, for example in a collector's box?
Yes, provided the battery is removed before prolonged storage — a battery left in place without use may leak and damage the movement. Stored away from direct light and humidity, this modern pocket watch lends itself well to long-term preservation in a box.
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.
