The 8-inch velvet-covered dial plate has a silver chapter ring and elaborately pierced and engraved silver spandrels and hands. The eight-day movement has a going train with verge escapement, a short pendulum and Huygen's cycloidal cheeks. The striking train indicates the hours fully on a bell and has quarter pull-repeat on two bells. • Dimensions: 44x39 cm.
