Description

"Everyone admires attention to detail and that’s where Rapport excel." - Max Chilton An Open-faced pocket watch, is one with no metal cover to protect the crystal watch face. The pendant is usually located at 12 o’clock. Our collection of Open Faced pocket watches are designed from the simple to the most complicated of movements. Utilising the latest micro quartz movements has enabled us to create an ultra-thin watch, just 4mm thick whilst many of our mechanical watches have additional features seen on the dial and viewed through visible back glass. The Half Hunter or “Demi-hunter” has a case where the outer lid has a glass panel or hole in the centre to give a view of the hands. Often, the hours are also marked on the outer lid to enable one to tell the time without opening the case. The rear panel on Hunter style watches is often hinged to allow it to open and reveal the intricacy of the movement, this style is referred to as a “Double Opening” pocket watch. Half Hunter or “Demi hunter” has a case where the outer lid has a glass panel or window in the centre to give a view of the hands.

A Hunter-case pocket watch or “Full Hunter” has a case with a spring-hinged metal lid or cover, that closes over the watch-dial and crystal, protecting them from dust and other damage. Traditionally hunter-case watches have the lid hinges at the 9 o’clock position and the stem of the watch at the 3 o’clock position but many modern hunter-case pocket watches have the hinges at the 6 o’clock position and the stem at the 12 o’clock position, as with open-face watches.
