The gilt brass frame is in very nice shape with some wear to the gilding on the bottom (from taking it on and off the gas fixture to wind it). The milk glass dial is perfect and the hands are original. The 30-hour watch movement is set and wound with a key from the rear. The original leather covered case is worn and has damage to the leather (but has done a great job of protecting the clock inside); leather strap still intact. This is an example worth owning. Height 5.25 inches, case 6 inches
