The clock face is white (enamel?) with the Roman numeral hours, and five minute intervals painted in black. There are two hands - an ornate hour hand, and plain minute hand - both in brass. The back of the clock is ornately decorated with brass filagree scrollwork, and is inscribed: "Steven Hoogendyk Rotterdam N. 13A". There is a dial inscribed with the numbers 1-6, with a pendulum on a coil in front of them, two small pointing hands (maybe copper?) point inward toward these numbers.
