Hunter-style crystals tend to be quite thin and fragile, and vary from almost flat to slightly convex, but all must be low enough to allow the metal case lid to close. If the watch has a hunter-case (with a metal cover over the dial and crystal) then the watch uses a hunter-style or Geneva-style crystal. We'll show you the more common styles (and a couple of less common styles) and provide a little information about how they were used. Original crystals for vintage pocket watches were typically made of mineral glass, and came in a wide variety of shapes, thicknesses and styles. That doesn't mean it's made of crystal, but "crystal" is the correct name for it. The piece of glass that covers the dial of your watch is called the crystal.
