Question
I was recently given an Urgos wall clock; movement is UW 16/79. I have been unable to find this model online and was wondering what model I should get if this needs replacing. UW 16/79 is a westminster chime, cable driven movement. (I think cable...if I don't see chains is that correct?) Just wondering

Answer
I am not familiar with this movement.  I suggest you address your question to; Mark Butterworth, Marc is the largest distributor of mechanical movements in the USA.

plug in.  Regards WJP
