A late 19th-century Swiss musical watch in a large silver full hunter case. The keyless nickelled musical movement has a very large going barrel, playing at will or on the hour, with a nickelled pinned barrel and polished steel comb of 30 graduated tines. Beneath this sits a circular gilt keyless cylinder watch movement, offset towards the pendant.

The puce enamel dial is decorated with musical instruments and features an offset white chapter with Roman numerals and gilt hands. The substantial silver full hunter case has a glazed clip-on cuvette to display the mechanism, and a lateral silver slide in the band activates the music. Both the musical and watch movements are wound via the crown: depressing the pin above the crown winds the watch, while leaving it undepressed winds the music.
