of tinted gold. The body of the clock is divided into twelve
parts which are outlined in diamond-studded stripes. The diamond
clock hand is in the shape of an arrow which protrudes from an
immobile base. A diamond and enameled belt with twelve
diamond-set Roman numerals revolves around the perimeter of the
egg, indicating the time. The base is decorated with rosettes and
the date of its manufacture, 1899, is set in diamonds. A gold key
was used to wind the mechanism.
