The clock is in a decorative wooden case that, going by the colour, is probably made from teak. The clock has two identical faces that can be seen from along the High Street.
The face is white and probably translucent allowing it to be back-lit at night. The marking have been pressed from a single piece of metal and are coloured black. As is normal with these pressed faces they are held together by three concentric rings that hold the marks between them. The hour marks are Roman numerals of the type used for a clock face. Within the inner ring there is a geometric design of six diamonds. The hands are a simple, basic design without tails and are black.
The year of the clock, "1908", is carved in the corners around the clock face.
The northeast facing clock face appears to have some damage with two holes being visible.
