The man is seen kneelingdown to show his respect and admiration for the beautiful girl sitting in a queen-like posture. The two characters depicted on the clock are so realistic that their faces clearly show their expressions.

In addition, the two lower corners of the pedestals representst two dragons holding their heads high in pride. The enamel dial has 12 Roman numerals for the hour and 12 Arabic numerals for the minutes. The two seconds and hour hands with leaf motifs are in gilt bronze, expressing elegance and nobility.
