The dial is on two levels. The lower hour track is machined into the case ring. This, like the movement, is made from German silver. The upper dial is sapphire crystal, affording a view not only of the tourbillon but the entire movement.

All gearwheels use the ‘dents de loup’ or ‘wolf’s teeth’ variety that was particularly popular in watchmaking during the 19th century. Due to the fact that these teeth are not uniform, they require a vast amount of manual labor to finish them.

These breath taking decorations can be admired through the sapphire crystal case back. This exceptional mechanical movement incorporates wolf teeth gearing system which was popular in 19th century watch making.
