Pocket Watch Quartz TX29.1

The Watch

Bayard is a French watchmaking brand founded in 1867. A high-volume name in the industry, it has long specialized in crafting mantel clocks and alarm clocks. Today, Bayard offers a diverse lineup that includes wristwatches and pocket watches. We've handpicked one of its finest creations for you: the Pocket Watch Quartz TX29.1. Elegant and refined, it delivers a striking vintage aesthetic. It comes housed in a round brass case with a beautiful silver-toned finish brought to life through a brushed treatment. The case measures 47 mm in diameter and 13 mm thick. The dial is protected by a plastic crystal and shielded by a brushed flip cover that lends this model its classic, polished look. Finally, the crown - used to set the hours and minutes - sits at 3 o'clock, resting on a small foot and surrounded by a polished ring.

The Dial

The round dial of this timepiece features a clean, elegant, and beautifully refined design. It showcases a matte white base where all elements marked in black are crisp and easy to read. The dial is framed by a minute track graduated with black lines and black dots every 5 minutes. The hours are indicated by Arabic numeral indexes rendered in an elegantly styled font, pointed to by two Sagaie hands with a silver-toned body and a black tip, while the slim seconds hand is entirely dressed in black. Finally, the brand name is proudly displayed just below 12 o'clock, followed by the house's origin, while the movement type is noted above 6 o'clock.

The Movement

This pocket watch is powered by a Miyota 2035 quartz movement. Japanese-made, it is reliable and accurate to ±20 seconds per month. This caliber runs on a battery with an approximate life of 3 years.

The Chain

This model comes with a beautiful silver-toned Curb Chain. It attaches to the case via a carabiner clasp and ends with a clip so you can fasten it wherever you like.

Water Resistance

This watch is not water-resistant. It's designed to turn heads at social gatherings - not to follow you into the water. A showstopper at parties and receptions, aquatic environments are simply not its forte. It can handle rain, splashes, or the occasional dishwashing mishap, but that's where it stops. We strongly advise against wearing it in the shower or bath - and even more so while swimming or diving.
