The top of the case then has a large, scrolling ormolu final as well as there being ormolu mounts to the front and back edges. The clock then sits on top of four shaped ormolu feet. The feet are then attached to the boulle base which then has further ormolu mounts to the edges and corners. Finally the back of the case as well as the back and top of the base are then satinwood with a fantastic, rich, polished colour.
The dial is then brass and set out with enamel panels. The hours are marked on individual enamel panels in black Roman numerals with the minutes being marked in the same way with Arabic numerals.

The dial is then finished by two lovely shaped fingers as well as a domed glass set into a brass bezel.
The movement is then wound from the front and accessed from the back. It is a single chain fusee example of the upmost quality. It comes complete with its fully regulating pendulum and winding key. It ticks away and works exactly as it should!
