Hi Bill, I believe the lines on the dials are described by the designer (Chris Daniel, the BSS President) as being 'platinum', and the blue colour as 'enamelled' - I'm not sure if these are forms of 'gilding' and 'vitreous enamel', respectively.

It is a great example of the quiet strength of simple design elements. The blue background with white lines and numbers is friendly to the eye and eye-catching at the same time. The symmetry of the annular dials surrounding the round stain glass windows is very satisfying. Bravo to the designer for keeping it understated and without furniture. -Bill
