The corners of rectangular, in design, case with the saddle curvilineal roof and flat platform are closed with repoussed pilasters, the urns with fleurons being their continuation.

Arched glass door with embossed cast edging and smooth passe-partout from the inner side, covers the engraved dial shield. White enamel clock dial with two openwork gilded hands, Roman numerals for hours’ designation, minutes’ divisions, Arabic numerals every fifth division and three winding holes. Two small dials with gilded hands are above the large one. Round enamel insert is between the small ones. It features the painted image of young couple dancing to the music of a violinist that stands in the foreground.

The violinist’s hand holding the bow moves while the music is playing. Rotunda with pavilion roof fixed on six bundles of columns is mounted on flat platform at the case top. Urns with fleurons are the continuation of the columns.

It strikes hours upon the bell; one of four available tunes is reproduced on carillon of eight bells simultaneously. The music can be switched on as desired by the cord.
