In this version, the top revolves for several hours on a winding, the movement that powers the "beacon" is housed in the base, and power is transmitted up a long vertical drive-shaft which has teeth on the bottom end to engage the rotating arbor on the movement. The typical clock and barometer are set into the beacon, opposite each other, and between the two are Centigrade and Fahrenheit thermometers; note entire clock has been professionally replated and it is a dazzler! Height 17 inches
