White painted enamel dial shows a landscape by the river. A sailing boat on the river - in the background a church. A farmer in front. On the right is a finely painted windmill with attached wind blades - gold-colored. When the clock is running the wind blade turns. At the top there is the dial with Arabic numerals and an external minute track. On the outer edge the scale for the jumping central seconds with Arabic numerals of 5 and 60 second divisions.

To the right below the windmill there is a lever on the housing where the second and thus also the windmill wheel can be stopped.
