The small clock is placed in a screen-shaped frame. All of the tree, connected wings is painted in polychrome enamel: below the clock, there is a couple walking in Rococo clothes, while the other wings are painted with couples playing music. The white enamel dial of the clock shows applied stars among the blue, Roman numerals. This is a less elaborate version of popular 18th century vitrine objects.
