The clock is made from a piece of Chinese cloisonne enamel vase and 1880's French bronze. the work on cloisonné enamel is highly delicate and forms the body of the movement of the clock. Thus, cartridges shelter birds in a lake landscape made on a midnight blue background contrasting with the blue sky also present on the enamel. The colors are very vivid and proves high-quality manufacturing. The bronze ornaments are extremely originals. A small Chinese character is balanced on the cloisonné enamel vase while the latter is based on the wings of a dragon.
