Swiss Pocket Watches

Swiss Pocket Watches is the home of the Classique collection, mostly Swiss quartz movements in clean, traditional cases. Most are full hunters with a hinged cover, with open face and skeleton styles too, in rhodium plated, gold plated and pewter finishes. Quartz suits anyone who would rather not wind a watch every day.

What is the Classique collection?

Classique is our line of dress pocket watches, mostly with Swiss quartz movements. Cases run from a 43mm open face stainless steel piece to 48mm and 49mm gents cases. A small number of mechanical watches with Swiss movements sit in this category too, so check the movement on each product page.

Frequently asked questions

What does Swiss quartz mean?

Swiss quartz means the watch runs on a quartz movement from Switzerland, powered by a battery. It keeps accurate time without winding, and you only need to replace the battery when it runs down.

Do Swiss quartz pocket watches need winding?

No. A quartz watch runs on a battery, so you set the time and leave it. You only use the crown to set the time. That makes quartz a good choice for a watch that is worn now and then rather than every day.

How long does a made-to-order Classique watch take?

Made-to-order Classique watches are made in 2–3 weeks before they are dispatched. In-stock Classique watches ship from Brisbane in 1–2 business days. Allow 2–4 more business days if you add engraving where it is offered.
