This Omega pocket watch, reference 1182.61, features a silver dial with an 18k yellow gold engraved case whose radiating pattern recalls the light of the rising sun. The effect is quietly transfixing. Decorative but never loud, the case lends the watch a sense of movement and warmth, framing the dial with intention rather than excess.
The dial itself is refreshingly direct. Its clear layout and elegant pointed hands reflect a period when legibility and craft were inseparable. This was the era when Swiss pocket watches served as ambassadors of precision to the world, objects that balanced technical rigor with restraint. The manual-wind movement reinforces that connection, asking for a moment of daily engagement and reflection, much as it would have a century ago.
Omegas origins trace back to 1848, when Louis Brandt began assembling watches in La Chaux-de-Fonds. Long before the rise of the wristwatch, the brand built its reputation through pocket watches that emphasized accuracy, durability, and thoughtful design. These early references laid the groundwork for Omegas later achievements in chronometry and sports timing, and their influence is still felt across the brands modern catalog.
This example remains in excellent overall condition with no notable signs of wear, an uncommon state for a watch that was meant to be carried and used. Offered without box or papers, it nonetheless feels complete, both materially and historically. It is a watch meant to be held, wound, and lived with, a reminder of a time when precision was personal and timekeeping was a deliberate act.
