Sun Watch: The celestial body engraved in the hollow of the neckline
There are timepieces that do not slip into a pocket but are worn against the skin, suspended like a talisman. The sun watch belongs to this tradition of the jewelled timepiece: its patinated bronze case, harmonised with the chain that holds it, houses beneath a finely ornamented clasp a dial with three delicate hands animated by a quartz movement. The mineral glass, discreet and resistant, protects the whole with the same discretion as a jewel box. Pulling the crown is sufficient to set the time right — a gesture of elegant simplicity. The sun and moon motif engraved on the cover transforms this timepiece into a symbolic object, somewhere between the necklace watch of yesteryear and the distinctive piece one wears for oneself.
The art of distinction
- Wearing a necklace watch is choosing to read the time as an intimate gesture — by lifting a clasp rather than consulting a screen.
- Aged bronze imparts an evolving patina to the piece: over time, it truly becomes yours, marked by your habits and your skin.
- The quartz movement ensures regular timekeeping without demanding maintenance, freeing the mind from any mechanical concern in daily life.
- The sun-moon duality engraved on the cover makes this timepiece a rare narrative object, half-horology, half-jewellery, one recognises without ever quite identifying.

How to wear the Sun Necklace Watch in Bronze and Steel
Over an open shirt collar, the necklace watch falls at the centre of the neckline and is sufficient to structure a sober silhouette. With a velvet gilet or three-piece suit, it naturally extends the aesthetic of the classic waistcoat pocket, slipped into the pocket or left visible. For a freer register, inspired by steampunk style, it layers effortlessly over raw leather and cotton. Those who enjoy mixing codes will also appreciate the snowflake pendant watch, whose delicate geometry dialogues well with the celestial motifs of the present model.
A gift of character
A milestone birthday, a Mother's Day worthy of remembrance, a retirement for someone who has always counted time in their own way — the sun necklace watch answers those moments when one seeks an object that lasts longer than the occasion. For those who prefer a wrist-worn timepiece in an equally careful spirit, the luminous half-hunter watch for women constitutes a coherent alternative with the same values of discreet elegance.
Frequently asked questions
What type of movement powers this necklace watch, and what autonomy does it offer?
The mechanism is a quartz movement powered by battery, standard in contemporary horology in this segment. Its level of precision is satisfactory for daily use. Battery autonomy generally varies between twelve and twenty-four months depending on the type of battery used and the conditions of wear.
Is the chain fixed or can its length be adjusted to vary how it is worn?
The chain supplied is matched to the bronze and stainless steel case. It is included with delivery and designed for necklace wear. Its length is standard; depending on the model, an extender or extension ring may allow for slight adjustment, to be verified upon receipt.
How to preserve this timepiece over time and offer it in the best conditions?
Bronze naturally develops a patina through contact with skin and air, which is part of the character of the material. To maintain its original appearance, wiping with a soft cloth is sufficient. To offer as a gift, the piece presents well in a closed case, protected from humidity and direct light.
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.
