The engine-turned dial is framed by a marvelous black enamel chapter ring with gold Roman numerals alternating with delicate little fleurettes and is housed in an elegant faceted ultra-flat hand-cut rock crystal case. The back is engraved with the emblem of a Scottish clan, most likely Clan Ewing. It shows an upright lion with a star in his right paw.
