The large dial is enamel on copper with blue lettering, It has an outside minute ring and original fretted gilt brass hands. The bezel is fitted with convex glass.

The French movement is by Japy Freres and has the makers mark on the backplate. It is of high quality and is in excellent clean and running condition having been fully overhauled by our clockmaker.
