Explanation

Details that help readers visualize the chronometer describe its size, appearance, and physical arrangement. “Around the size of a large pocket watch” gives its size, “with a normal clock dial showing roman numerals” describes its face, and “suspended inside a swivelling brass ring” shows how it is held.
