Case and Dial Design
The watch is housed in a consular case crafted from gold, detailed with elaborate champlevé enamel work. The decoration features deep blue enamel and intricate miniature paintings depicting floral arrangements. A significant technical detail of the casing is the placement of the hinge mechanisms, which are completely concealed within a groove inside the case, providing a uniform exterior appearance.
The white enamel dial serves as the primary interface for both time and date. It indicates the hours and quarters using black Arabic numerals, while the days of the month are marked with red Arabic numerals. The dial is equipped with gold hands in the beetle-and-poker style, accompanied by a dedicated blued steel hand for the calendar function. The dial's brass edge carries the signature of the maker, Gregson.
