A desk clock enclosed in a shiny rock crystal arch-formed surround with a circular chapter ring and dial. A ring of round diamonds; a bezel, encircles the black enamel chapter ring encrusted with large Roman numerals indicating hours with gold separating the numerals. A gold ring surrounds the numerals however the chapter ring could have shifted down because the gold ring is absent from viewing on the bottom. A ruyi design of a gold symmetrical cloud-like pattern, side-to-side, borders a carved green jade medallion with two cabochon sapphires and diamond encrusted hour and minute hands adorning the dial. Lower on the object are two topiary forms set on left and right corners carved from a large cabochon sapphire surrounded by black enamel set in gold prongs, diamonds as stem, with a green trapezoidal-formed polished jade pot and black enamel handles and base. The clock is photographed in an upright position where the only side visible is the front and is reflected against a white surface.
