Plain cock with polished steel regulator. Plain three arm gilt balance with blue steel spiral hairspring. Unusual enamel dial, the numerals replaced by representations of the club suit of playing cards from Ace to Queen, pierced gilt hands. Blue steel open face case with gilt bezel, winding crown and bow. On the reverse of the watch is a small glazed aperture through which can be seen a rotating disc bearing photographically reproduced nudes.
