The white enamel dial, with roman numerals and breguet half-moon hands, is signed on the dial C.J. Klaftenberger, 157 Regent Street. Klaftenberger is recorded as working in Regent Street, London from 1863 until, circa 1885. He also worked in Paris in the late 19th century.

The back of the movement is numbered 720, and stamped with the Marti et Cie, medaille de bronze stamp, and further stamped P.L. FRE, likely for the celebrated makers Levy Freres a Paris.
