Case and Dial Design
The clock is styled after the traditional Pendule d’Officier, characterized by an inverted bell-top silhouette surmounted by a fixed carrying handle. The brass structure is supported by four turned feet. The front of the case below the dial is embellished with relief castings of floral motifs and musical instruments. The side panels are constructed with decorative pierced grilles.
The dial is composed of convex white enamel, featuring Arabic numerals in black ink. The outer edge of the dial includes minute markers and quarter-hour indicators. Time is displayed via gold-plated metal hands that are open-worked and intricately engraved. The dial includes two winding holes for the eight-day movement.
