Quartz Pocket Watch TX28

The Watch

Founded in 1867, Bayard is a French watchmaking house best known for its mantel clocks and alarm clocks - but the brand also crafts elegant timepieces like this Quartz Pocket Watch TX28. The watch features a clean, round case with a polished, gleaming finish crafted in brass with a beautiful silver tone. It measures 47 mm in diameter and 14.70 mm thick, and is fitted with a mineral crystal protecting the dial. There is no flip-open cover - a simple snap-on caseback encloses the movement. At 12 o'clock, a crown resting on a small foot is framed by a smooth oval ring. It features a ridged grip for precise hours and minutes adjustment.

The Dial

This watch features a minimalist round dial - beautifully refined and effortlessly legible. It has a white matte base with black markers. The hours are indicated by classic black Arabic numerals in a timeless typeface. A subtle minute track runs along the dial's edge, providing a delicate contrast with the rest of the design. All three hands - including a pear-shaped hour and minute set and a slender seconds hand - are in black. The brand name sits proudly below 12 o'clock, while the movement type is noted above 6 o'clock.

The Movement

This pocket watch runs on a Japanese quartz movement - specifically the Miyota 2035 caliber, accurate to ± 20 seconds per month. Battery-powered with a 3-year battery life, it delivers reliable analog timekeeping.

The Chain

A refined Curb Chain attaches to the ring at 12 o'clock via a lobster clasp. Silver-toned, it ends with a hook clip so you can attach it wherever you like.

Water Resistance

This watch is not water-resistant. It's a dress piece - not your adventure buddy in the pool. It shines at parties and formal events, but water is not its friend. Light rain, splashes, or dishwater won't do lasting damage, but we strongly advise against wearing it in the shower, the bath, or anywhere near a swimming pool or the sea.
