The watch case itself has a dial with Roman numerals (for the hours) and Arabic numerals (for the minutes). It also has a seconds dial and an additional window for the month calendar. The case also features an auxiliary dial with the option to deactivate the chime. Signed "Thomson Fitter" on the dial.

Vegetable motifs in gilding flood the rest of the piece, both the box and the crest, as well as the main body and the aforementioned plinth.
