The 2 ¾” wide silvered brass arched dial has leaf scroll corner engraving, Roman hour chapters and Arabic minute numbers every five minutes round a full minute band. The dial is signed J. Stockton, London in a cartouche in the arch and also engraved 896 at the bottom of the dial. Hands are of blued steel.

The movement is housed between brass plates 2 ½” by 3”with four pillars. The rear plate also signed J. Stockton, London and with the number 896 at the bottom. Balance regulation is engraved Slow/Fast. The eight day movement is chain fusee with verge and crownwheel escapement.
