The dial features mirror-inverted Arabic numerals and indexes; it is reflected through a set of crystal prisms and only visible at certain angles. If looked at from the back, the clock appears empty. The silvered case has a vertical striped pattern and is decorated with enamelled panels imitating lapis lazuli.
