The dial, with a finely engraved gilded mask, is signed for the retailer Simmons.
The eight day gong striking movement, numbered on the backplate 1070, strikes on the gong and repeats at will. It has a fine quality silvered lever platform escapement with split bi-metallic balance and poising screws.
The clock has its original numbered travelling case.
