The dial is signed in an oval central field ROBIN à Paris whilst the winding holes are situated at the level of the IIII and the VIII. In the XII is a regulation arbor, which is operated by a watch key (Brocot regulation). The dial is protected by a door which has a bevelled glass with a gold lacquered brass frame.
