The uneven surface of the mother-of-pearl dial creates a fascinating shimmering effect, the colour shifting between green and pink. The applied Roman hours are gold. The date is displayed by an analogue chapter ring and two windows for month and day of the week in English are positioned in the top half of the dial. At 6 o’clock the age of the moon and the phase in a fan-shaped window with gold moon and stars on blue ground are displayed.
