Its richly figured\n      mahogany veneer displays wonderful depth and movement, with the grain\n      changing dramatically as it catches the light, and the case has been\n      polished to bring that figuring fully to life.\n    \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n    \u003cp\u003e\n      The original silvered dial is furnished with crisp black Roman\n      numerals, an outer minute track and finely shaped blued-steel hands,\n      and carries the Gustav Becker trademark plainly visible just above\n      the centre arbor — genuine, confirmed provenance rather than a\n      guessed attribution.
