Bubinga Wood Pocket Watch with Open Dial, Quartz
The bubinga wood pocket watch commands attention from the first glance as an encounter between two temporalities: that of a millennium-old African wood with copper-veined grain, and that of a precise quartz movement that beats with unwavering reliability. The half-hunter case opens onto a clean dial where three white hands glide silently across the openworked background, laying bare the mechanism for contemplation. No superfluous guillochage, no misplaced ornament—the bubinga speaks for itself, each vein forming a pattern that no other piece will ever reproduce. To hold this timekeeper between your fingers is to feel the warmth of natural wood respond to that of your hand, as if matter and time were finally in accord.
The Art of Distinction
- Wearing this timekeeper is to introduce into your day a moment of contemplation that ordinary watches do not permit.
- A piece crafted in wood whose rarity and character make it a collector's object destined to traverse generations.
- The quartz movement ensures precision without daily intervention, freeing the wearer from any concern about winding.
- Since bubinga grain is unique to each tree, no two watches resemble one another—each specimen is an absolute original.

How to Wear Your Bubinga Wood Pocket Watch
The tweed or corduroy waistcoat constitutes the natural setting for this natural wood pocket watch: the chain glides into the breast pocket, the bubinga case edges the fabric with elegant discretion. For a three-piece suit with fine stripes, the contrast between warm wood and dark woolen fabric creates a particularly refined interplay of materials. Steampunk aesthetics enthusiasts will readily pair it with patinated leathers and brass accessories. For those wishing to venture further down this ornamental path, our heart-pierced pocket watch admirably extends this conversation between wood, metal, and light.
A Gift of Character
To offer this wood pocket watch upon a diploma ceremony, a milestone birthday, or retirement is to choose an object whose uniqueness testifies to the attention paid to the recipient. It suits equally the horology enthusiast and the lover of natural materials. For an occasion calling for greater solemnity, our luxury gold watch represents an alternative of affirmed prestige.
Frequently Asked Questions
What type of movement powers this bubinga wood quartz pocket watch?
The timekeeper is animated by a quartz movement, powered by a battery. This type of caliber offers precision on the order of a few seconds per month without requiring manual winding. The open dial allows you to observe the hands in motion while retaining this daily reliability.
How should the bubinga wood case be maintained over time?
Bubinga wood benefits from being spared prolonged contact with water and cosmetic products. A light wipe with a soft, non-abrasive cloth suffices to preserve the natural lustre of the grain. Over the years, the patina of the wood enriches and bestows upon the piece additional character.
Is this watch suited to daily wear or does it lean more towards collecting?
It is designed to be worn regularly. Its robustness, combined with the recognized durability of bubinga and the reliability of the quartz movement, makes it a true life companion. Nevertheless, it may find its place in a collector's cabinet when not being worn.
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.
