The ebonized case with bell top is surmounted by five gilt-brass urn finials. There is also an applied rocaille cartouche. The signed dial has subsidiary dials for chime/silent and tune selection in the arch, a silvered chapter ring, and a date aperture in the center. The three-train movement plays tunes on ten bells and hammers and chimes the quarter hours.
