The three-stage brass bound mahogany box with gimbals securing a numbers-matching fusee movement fronted by a silvered dial with black enamel Roman numeral chapter ring enclosing the up/down indicator dial and seconds bit along with the name 'B. F. & T. M. DAVIES, Utica, N.Y.;' the solid mahogany case has an inlaid plaque lettered O ADAMS No. 36 Lombard St. London.
