The interface— 26cm in width—is made of white enamel with painted Arabic numerals. The interface also includes an intricate hour and minute hands. The hands movements are characterized by gentle movement, which is characteristic of Alpine clocks. Additionally, the interface has a smaller clock—also painted with Arabic numerals—towards the bottom, indicating the number of seconds passed.

Due to materials used, the clock has specific care instructions. The owner of the pocket watch should keep the pocket watch away from harsh chemicals and water, as to not erode the soft metal of the outer casing of the watch. Additionally, the pocket watch owner should also avoid rough handling so as not to damage the soft metal on the cover of the watch.

ID: The golden pocket watch includes a white screen display. The screen display shows Arabic numerals and long ticks to indicate the hour and smaller ticks to indicate minutes. In the very bottom of the screen interface, there is a small clock that includes the tick format to count the number of minutes. The hands of the clock are thin, golden and intricate. The exterior of the watch has some golden ridges toward the edge, and the end of the watch connects to a golden chain. The golden chain includes a golden ring at the end.
