The inner case is made of gilt brass and is marked with the maker's initials WH. It is also in good condition, with minimal wear to the gilding and a fine hinge. The bezel shuts securely, though it does have a slight gap. The high dome bull's eye crystal is clear with only a few light scratches. The original bow and stem are intact.

Desbois & Wheeler operated from Gray's Inn Passage, London from 1790 onwards, and this watch was likely made between then and 1800. The soft enamel coating on the brass case adds an extra layer of attractiveness and uniqueness to this already stunning timepiece.
