What is the difference between a half hunter and full hunter pocket watch?
The difference between a half hunter and full hunter pocket watch is its lid. On a full hunter, the lid covers the entire face of the watch and you must lift it to see the face. On a half hunter, the lid has a glass panel that allows you to read the time without opening the timepiece. On 1stDibs, shop a selection of pocket watches.
