How it is made
The iron is bent by hand and welded for this design alone: no part comes from other objects. It looks light, but the iron is thick and the pyramid construction makes it practically indestructible.
The movement sits in a sheet metal drum closed by two bezels, which gives the Westminster chime on bells a fine sound. The two doors have blown glass and open upwards. The dial is painted sheet metal with a traditional chapter ring; the weights are iron, in the colour of the case, and the hands long, straight and aluminium-coloured.
It is finished at the back too, so it suits the middle of a room or a spot in front of a mirror. Weights and pendulum swing free, though: keep it away from windows and doors, because a draught can stop the pendulum.
