The dial is then enamel and set out in black Roman numerals with a thin ring of dashes to the outside marking the minutes. The dial then has a lovely arched, gilt surround that is engraved with lovely scrolling patterns. The dial is then finished by two shaped fingers as well as a protective glass set into the door.
The movement is then adjusted from the front and wound from the back. The movement then ticks away and works as it should. It is a verge fusee example of a sedan movement of the upmost quality.
