Remark :
At the center of the dial an electricity-powered clock gives the civil time.
The dial represents ths Earth seasons with the entry points in the zodiacal signs.
'midi vrai de Lillois' (true noon of Lillois) is written beneath the XII.
The solar time to civil time conversion is explained above the mottoe, even more the values of the equation of time are written on the left of the dial.
A bird with a human mustached head is looking at the clock, when on the opposite side of the dial a skeletton seems willing to hide.
A very well drawned Earth overhangs everything in a box designed for it.
