The present Cartier clock is admired for its brilliantly colored mother-of-pearl dial in different shades. The colors permeate and reach each corner of the 18k gold bezel, depicting a hunting scene with two men, one on horseback, both engaging in activity with a bow and spear. The great perspective is achieved by the elaborately decorated clothing of gold, enamel and hardstone, set against rolling hills that seem to extend far out into the horizon. The detail is astonishing even down to the blades of green grass in the forefront, a mark of excellence by the celebrated French manufacturer Cartier, and from the workshop of Maurice Coüet, the most famous of Cartier's clock workshops. The case back is made of Ebonite, a material that resembles black onyx. Cartier used this material in some of their most important clocks including the most expensive they ever sold, the so called Roosevelt Victory Clock.
