The gilt brass case is finely engraved, with a smooth column at each corner. The verge/balance movement is wound from the front (at 2 o"clock), and is running. The governor on the repeat needs attention, as the sequence is sounded out too quickly. With a good porcelain dial, signed: Josef Lorenz, in Wien. Height 5'
