There are two concentric circles on the dial face; a smaller one with numbers 5 through 60 and another with lines marking each minute. The outer square has a decorative filigree design in the corners. The clock has a semi-circular piece at the top with filigree design and cursive writing that says "Benjamin Bagnall Boston". The clock face is primarily black and white. The background of the image is gray.
