Main dial: eight-day, two-train arched with moon, centre painting. Applied chapter ring, square date aperture, head and foliage spandrels; maps in hemispheres. This dial had had the centre mistakenly painted in acrylic, because the original oil painting was lost. Dial plate could have been soaked in chemicals, nothing left of it, so new scene had to be made up following the style of the moon.
Main dial: gold shells in pink frame on gold background with lines corners. Poor graphics.
Main dial: all different abbeys corners; Loch Katrine breakarch. All very well painted.

One-piece chapter ring and centre, plain with cutout for seconds dial and 6 o'clock moon, name in hemispheres. Two small dials top left and right with date and month. Pointed moon with starry sky looks crude. Arch of dial has scalloped cutout for automata scene. Adam and Eve arms to move, as well as corkscrew flat serpent going around tree trunk. Rococo spandrels. Very unusual.
