The hood with original reverse painted glass panels, typical Gillows carved top part with reeded side columns. The case is basically in pretty good condition and is all original but there are minor movement hairlines to the base section.
The movement is an 8 day deadbeat movement with sweeping second and date hands and moon phase to the top. It has been fully serviced and is in perfect working order.
