Table clock signed by Christoph Miller. The square case has side-windows to show the movement. The gild brass back is engraved with large floral motifs. The hours and minutes are marked on two separate silvered rings. At the center is a rotating disk for the alarm. The movement has three trains: the going train with a six-coil chain fusee and a verge escapement, and two separate chime trains for the hours and quarter-hours.
