A new, replacement movement, will be of Hermle design and fit where the original Urgos movement was. The original part number on the movement is UW/48A. The other number has little/no significance.

Aug 18, 2024. #8. The Gufa movement, whether single- or triple-chime, is robust and well-built. From the photos, there does not appear to be appreciable pivot wear on this one. The wheel on the leader is a neat feature that allows one to put the clock in beat very easily.
3) Completely disassemble the movement. 4) Clean the individual parts - preferably using an ultrasonic cleaner and a good clock cleaning fluid. A few parts should not be cleaned this way - notably balance wheels/springs. 5) Repair anything that needs it - install bushings, check/straighten wheels/arbors/pivots, etc.
I have taken the movement out of the case and am trying to identify what it is. The only marks I can see on the back of the movement are FHS 15cm 178,28. I understand that this means that it is a Hermle movement, 15cm refers to pendulum length and 178,28 is the beats per minute. My problem is that it does not seem to have any other identifying ...

I ...

Today I was helping someone with a 5-tube grandfather clock that was put together in 1990. The movement was not a typical 5-tube one. This one had 4 hammers on rods hitting the tubes to play Westminster and a 5th hammer on a rod that would his the 5th tube is a sideways action. I was trying to take photos of the back on the movement, but it ...
It is stamped with "Germany" on both the front clock face and the back panel upper left corner. The Roman numeral 4 on the clock is four lines, not an IV. The bird looks to be plastic with painted eyes. My questions are: Is there a serial number attached to the movement, and where can I reference it to determine the movement type and date.
