Gold Plated Mechanical Watch by Charles Hubert 3842 Review

Apr 30, 2021 at 1:45 pm Today I received a Charles-Hubert Paris 17 pocket watch with gems. Good weight, solid construction and great looks. The high hopes are that it will be a good, reliable, fairly expensive watch and not a cheap $12 watch from a department store. Wind it up and set it to 1:45, which was the correct time that day. 40:00 I checked the time on the clock and was disappointed to see that the clock read 2:45. My hopes for an accurate, reliably winding pocket watch were dwindling…

GENERALLY SATISFIED WITH THE HOURS. IT'S A LITTLE SMALL FOR ME BUT THE DISPLAY HAS ADDED THE RIGHT SCALE. A LID THAT IS OPENED DOES NOT OPEN COMPLETELY.

The watch never showed the exact time. Would lose 5 minutes or more every few hours. Stops working after 4 days of use. Warranty returns cost 10% of the cost of the watch. waste of money.

I prefer mechanical watches. This one bears the name of a French manufacturer I know. It has a beautiful gold hunting case pocket and works very accurately; an adjustment of approx. 40 seconds every 5th or 6th day ensures the correct time. The curved second hand, clear numerals and second markers make the face attractive. French
