It originally had an Urgos moment in it that had no hands or key so I don't know if it worked or not. I didn't want the beautiful case to go to waste so I put a quartz movement in it. I put a movement in it that had a pendulum but it does not work properly all of the time. The clock keeps good time but the pendulum stops. It is not the original pendulum to the movement so that probably has something to do with it. I stil have the original mechanical movement and the chimes and I will most likely lost them. The pine case is absolutely gorgeous and you can still smell that unique pine scent. It is built professionally and it is very sturdy There are minor scuffs but they are hardly noticeable at all and the case is solid with no major problems. The quarts movement runs on one AA battery, not included. Please view photos for more info and condition and always feel free to ask questions. Thank you for viewing!
