Main dial: eight-day, two-train arched dial, with Adam and Eve automata in breakarch and 6 o'clock moon. 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.
