The case also features an auxiliary dial with the option to deactivate the chime. Signed "Thomson Fitter" on the dial. This is a lavishly decorated piece in each of its parts: while the base features a narrative chivalric scene, the main body is decorated by two large pavilions with verdure-like scenes inside. These are characterised by a high degree of decoration and uniqueness. Vegetable motifs in gilding flood the rest of the piece, both the box and the crest, as well as the main body and the aforementioned plinth.
