Design
- Case and Dial
- The clock is housed in a wooden case characterized by its semi-circular, faceted glass glazing which provides a view of the internal pendulum and weights. The dial is silvered and presents a complex layout for time and calendar functions. The main dial uses Roman numerals for the hours and features a peripheral date track. Three auxiliary dials are present for the seconds, day of the week, and month, alongside an integrated moon phase display. The construction includes a central date indicator hand.
- Visible features

- Movement and Chime
- The timekeeping movement is powered by a weight-driven system. The striking mechanisms for the Westminster quarters and the hour count are powered by separate barrels within the movement. The acoustic output is produced by two separate sets of four tone bars, with the Westminster melody playing every quarter hour and the hour strike functioning independently on the second set of bars.
