A gold plated Whitehurst movement, unique in the world of horology movements, finished with a bone china dial. The bone china dial and cameo is decorated in hand finished livery. The Sweet Briar Rose represents Catherine as an English rose, emerging from the marriage of the sweethearts as a Princess. The Shell is a central emblem of the coat-of-arms of Prince William and Wheat explores the fertility and fruitfulness of the joining together and a sheath of wheat is the traditional symbol for weddings. It also symbolises plenty, a wish for the future prosperity of the country. A ribbon and bow ties the knot. On the cameo is the monogram - intertwined C and W, with Prince William’s Coronet above. Finally, a symbol of heraldry is depicted by the circlet of gold showing on the outside with two strawberry leaves, two fleur-de-lis and a central cross patty.
