Case and Dial
The watch is housed in an 18K yellow gold hunting-case, which displays decorative engraving across its exterior surfaces. The dial layout includes a subsidiary seconds register positioned at the six o'clock mark, surrounded by applied gold floral or scroll ornamentation across the central field. Roman numerals indicate the hours on a chapter ring, and the dial features blue steel hands.
The overall design of the dial uses alternating finishes and textures to define the hour track and the recessed sub-dial area. The watch is keyless, with a crown at the three o'clock position for winding and time-setting, and a slide integrated into the side of the case band to operate the minute-repeating function.
