brushed brass case is 4" high and 2" on the
four sides. The two clock dials are on the
front and back, and the hydrometer and ther-
mometer are on only one side each. The clock
is running and the thermometer is working,
but I cannot get a handle on the hydrometer to
know if it is operating properly. Signed on
one side, "Cartier / Swiss", and on the base,
"Swiss". Winds and sets underneath and the
screened opening to allow the reading of
moisture is also underneath. A nice little
