The clock is mounted on a cube-shaped section on top of the shelter and has a face on each vertical surface. The section is painted white and acts as the background to the clock faces.
The face is pressed from a single sheet of metal and all that remains are three rings. The outer pair of rings have the minute markers between them and the iiner pair of rings have the hour marks.
The rings are coloured gold with the minute and hour marks painted black. The hour marks are Roman numerals that are used in the vast majority of clock faces with "IIII" used for four instead of "IV".
The hands are quite wide, with tails and are painted black.
