The white dial has Roman numeral hour markers and black Breguet-style hands, printed with St James LONDON and MADE IN ENGLAND. Both clocks are constructed with beveled glass panels to all sides. A winding key is present inside the rear door of the St James clock. The back plates of the movements are visible through the rear glass doors.
