This large floor clock consists of its large wooden case and metal mechanism. The wooden case is made of luxurious varnished walnut wood. On the bottom it has a rectangular base, which sits on four square feet at the back and round flattened ones at the front. On this base stands the main case of the clock mechanism, which is curved at the top and has a door decorated with a wood-carved komboloi and floral spirals at the front. Above it is a round curved pane of glass that reveals the clock disc and the minute hands, and below a flat pane of glass that reveals the metal disc of the pendulum, the chains and the cylindrical weights of the mechanism. The metal mechanism consists of the metal disc of the clock, where the hours are indicated with black digits and the minutes with dots and where the hour and minute hands move. On the left side of the disc facing the viewer is a small star marked UNGHANS. Behind the disc is the metal mechanism consisting of the following: A wooden bar with the metal pendulum disc, five uneven vertical bars on which small hammers strike and produce the sound, and four long chains with two very heavy brass cylinders.
