The dial features individual white enamel pieces with painted blue Roman numerals for the hour indices. Below the VI mark is another enamel plaque with the makers signature 'Brezagez / a Paris'.

Both the clock case and bracket are decorated in the manner of Boulle, with engraved brass inlaid into tortoiseshell, a Popular style under Louis XV's predecessor Louis XIV.  In addition to the clockmaker signature on the dial, the movement is signed 'Brezagez / a Paris' as well, and the case and bracket are signed 'Marchand' for the specific maker.
