The clock face is inset with a white face and black hands and markings. The surrounding stone marks the quarter segments.
The outer ring has 60 digits with roman numerals.
It is not clear if the clock face is illuminated at night, however, due to the origin of the clock in all probability it will.

History:-
Master clockmakers Dent’s of London imagined just that and created a time piece commissioned by John Francis Basset to sit in the clock tower here in Camborne. It is said to be a miniature replica of the famous Big Ben which sits within the Palace of Westminster, London
