The pavilion-shaped case of this hanging clock has a square base, a massive bell, a brass dial with Roman hour numerals and markings for the quarter-hours. The hole in the lower part of the circle served to insert a key for setting the chime. The rose engraved at the center and the hand are not original. The brass movement comprises two trains driven by weights with rope. The original going train was a balance, later transformed into a pendulum (the pendulum, now missing, was secured to the back). The chime train is presently controlled by a regulator set for two consecutive cycles from one to twelve (replacement). The lower plate is stamped with an elongated eight-sided mark showing an escapement wheel with a verge and a rod balance, and the initials GL in block letters on the sides. Next to the mark, engraved in large florid script, one can read the signature and the town "Georg Letterle Augspurg." The clock may have been built in Augsburg shortly before the introduction of the pendulum (1656) and may have been brought by its maker to Florence. Was damaged in the 1966 flood and some parts have since been replaced.
