Quartz Hunter Pocket Watch: Elegance with a Lid
The quartz hunter pocket watch evokes an era when time was earned, when one would slip a hand into a waistcoat pocket to extract a timepiece with ceremony. This silver-cased hunter with mirror-polished finish opens onto a dial of remarkable clarity: white background, soberly traced indices, fine hands advancing with the silent regularity of quartz. Housed in the solid caseback, the quartz movement accomplishes its mission with a horological precision that the naked eye can only admire from afar — it is the crown, positioned at twelve o'clock, that grants access without formality. Two decorative chronographs adorn the white dial, recalling the aesthetic of instruments from bygone eras. A timepiece conceived to traverse the seasons with consistent elegance.
The Art of Distinction
- To wear this lidded timepiece is to introduce into one's day a slow, deliberate gesture — one from an era when checking the time was a ritual.
- As much a collector's piece as a piece of life, this white-dial pocket watch naturally inscribes itself in family transmission, bearing with it an elegance that does not age.
- The supplied battery ensures an autonomy of two to five years without particular maintenance, freeing the wearer from any mechanical constraint in daily life.
- Its solid caseback with mirrored finish constitutes a singular visual signature: the watch reveals a secret face, as carefully finished as the obverse.

How to Wear a Quartz Pocket Watch?
The three-piece suit remains the natural setting for this modern quartz pocket watch: the slider chain fixes to the belt, allowing the case to fall into the waistcoat pocket with an ease that recalls nineteenth-century portraits. For formal wear, the silver finish harmonizes with cufflinks and mother-of-pearl buttons. In more contemporary registers, bridge trousers or a tweed waistcoat suffice to create dialogue between modernity and heritage. For a more audacious aesthetic, exploration of the golden variant from our selection offers striking contrast with dark textiles.
A Gift of Character
Some gifts attract attention; others inscribe themselves in memory. This silver quartz pocket watch belongs to the latter category: it suits the graduation gift of a young man mindful of his appearance, the birthday of an enthusiast of rare objects, or any occasion of passage that deserves to be marked by a tangible gesture. For those wishing to go further in the art of gifting, the diamond-adorned watch from our luxury collection represents a further step in the art of the memorable present.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the mechanism of this quartz pocket watch function?
The quartz movement is housed in the solid caseback. It regulates the progression of the hands by electrical impulses generated by a quartz crystal subjected to current. Precision is on the order of a few seconds per month, without regular mechanical intervention on the part of the wearer.
How do I set the time and replace the battery?
Adjustment is done by pulling and then turning the crown positioned at twelve o'clock. The supplied battery offers a lifespan estimated between two and five years depending on use. Its replacement, common in quartz watchmaking, can be entrusted to any watchmaker or accomplished with an appropriate tool.
Is this watch suitable for long-term preservation or daily use?
The lidded case protects the dial from dust and daily impacts. For long-term preservation, it is advisable to remove the battery to prevent any risk of corrosion. With regular use, gentle cleaning of the case with a soft cloth suffices to maintain the brilliance of the mirror polish.
The art of the timepiece
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.
