Case
The heavily cast silvered-bronze multi-piece case has finely detailed decorative elements including scrolling foliage and several architectural components.
Dial
The off-white porcelain chapter-ring dial has Arabic numbers for the hours and steel-cut hands. Below is the smaller matching alarm dial and both are framed by a chased and engraved mask depicting scrolling foliage against a silvered ground.
Movement
The eight-day time and strike movement is wound and set off the backplate, has a repeat button out the top and has all the indications in French. It still retains the original balance platform with a lever escapement.
