Double-curved enamel dial with Roman hour and Arabic quarter-hour markings. Sawed iron hands. Small anchor escapement with the anchor shaft mounted in a bracket in front of the front movement plate. Half-hour striking en passant and full-hour striking with repetition on a bell. Iron flywheel. The hour rack is mounted on the back of the hour wheel, which is extremely large-toothed. Winding barrels made of wood.
Dial diameter: 225
Cage dimensions: 233 x 204 x 133 HxWxD
Movement dimensions: 385 x 246 x 150 HxWxD

The support plate of the dial is hooked at the bottom into the base plate with two cut-out staples, held at the top with a crimped edge, and then secured with two screws in the pillars.
