The movement is driven by a spring barrel with fusee and chain and is of one-day duration. It is regulated by a verge escapement in combination with a plain iron balance.

The brass frame is shaped like an inverted Y with curled ends. It stands on an oval brass base signed Fenton Bury. The whole is placed under a glass dome on a wooden base with flat round brass feet.
