The present clock was clearly made for a particular client who desired a precision timepiece but with a case that was à la mode and an easy-to-read dial. Cedric Jagger op. cit. states that most Barraud clocks with movements of this quality have regulator dials and that the omission of Cornhill in the address is most unusual. He further states that the dial is made from enamel, which from a photograph would have been a natural assumption.
