<\/a><\/p>\nThe outer chapter has engraved black\u00a0minute markers. A fluted trench separates it from a second chapter of brushed silver with engraved hour markers.<\/p>\n
Further in, the dial is adorned with engine-turned, basket-weave guilloche and at 12 o\u2019clock, a cartouche bears the \u201cR. W. SMITH\u201d mark, engraved in black.<\/p>\n
At six o\u2019clock is a large, subsidiary-seconds register decorated with diamond guilloche, circled by drilled, black dots marking the seconds. A slim, white gold seconds\u2019 hand, with the signature pronounced counter-balance, traverses the face of the seconds\u2019 register.<\/p>\n
The white gold hour and minute hands feature spade tips, scalloped by hand, much like the rest of the dial.<\/p>\n
Roman numerals, usually found on the watchmaker\u2019s dials, have been replaced by batons.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
