Description
A wooden clock with an early style verge escapement mechanism with no housing, so the mechanism is fully visible. It has only one hand, a wooden ring with the Roman numerals printed in black around it, square weights to the foliot, and a large diamond-like shaped weight, a smaller counterweight of the same shape, and a nylon rope holding the two.
