A Clock Not A Watch!

[paul.deitch]

I have inherited a mantel clock with Wurtemburg on the front, Roman numerals, fast/slow and chime/silent hands on a brass looking plate. Inside stamped on the mechanism is 8811 16 and scratched is 1177EM. Unfortunately it is not chiming or striking but it does tick-tock. Can someone point me in the right direction to find out more please and whether it is likely to be worth repairing.

Looks like an early Junghans 3 train movement. It's not particularly valuable, but worth fixing if you like it.

Hey thanks for the info. I'm a bit far away to use you but a friend of a friend is a "Meister Uhrmacher" so I will see him about a repair as the clock belonged to my grandfather who if alive today would be 120! At least I am armed with some information now. Based on what you wrote I think that the chime spring is broken and therefore neither the chime or strike actions work.
Thanks again, made my day!

Wow! He wanted 500 euros to clean and replace the broken spring...
I was polite and left it at that. I guess he didn't want the work.
