A glass panel to the pagoda top. A double plinth skirting. The case decoration depicts Chinese scenes and are nicely detailed. A brass dial with a silvered chapter ring, date, seconds and lunar moon phases to the arch. Blued steel hands. A rarer and fine quality moon phases to the arch with the age of the moon showing by a hand and the inner circular dial showing the moon throughout the month.
