Watch made by Josiah Emery. The smooth outer case encloses the fretworked and decorated inner case. The enamel dial has Roman hour numerals. The gilt hands are pear-shaped: the minutes hand is not original. The movement, complete with removable dust cap, is exceptionally well made, with a chain fusee and cylinder escapement. The hours and quarter-hours are repeated by a bell.
