Watch

On the back the convex glass covers a convex enamel plaque of Diana with a bow and a dog, this plaque held by a gilt-metal bezel decorated with roundels. The front hinges at the left over a silver champleve dial. The chapter ring is set eccentrically, shows Roman hour numerals and Arabic numbers. The base is engraved with the maker's name, above a false pendulum aperture. The hands, of gilt-metal show rococo scrolls.
