There are two inkwells, one with glass to hold ink. Both inkwells have hinged lids, the clock section swivels between the two turned posts. It has a beveled glass over the dial, good hands and a brass inner dial, all original. Backwind and set movement is signed with the Japy Freres trademark. The movement may be 8 day, not sure, It runs and quits so will need service if you want it to run regularly. The case is clean but has not been polished. It has a good finish, just plain brass, never had any gilt.
