Curiosity got me going, I guess I was intending future maintenance and put a removable panel on the back.
Unfortunately its not a Keineger as you suggested but a Urgos model UW03051B there is another number (possibly serial no) 436819.
Interestingly a quick search shows NOS available. Why would anyone replace something we could spend weeks rebuilding?
Thinking back the poor thing had stopped a couple of times over the last couple of years but a gentle restart got it going. Why would I do maintenance on something that would restart? (Slap upside the head) This time no ticky though. When I oscillate the pendulum or with it removed now the lever (forgive my ignorance of terms) that connects to the pawls that engage the escape wheel there is no familiar click, or in watch maker terms tick / tock, but the wheel does index.
The oil arrived the other day, Pegasus is the brand, also received a vial of watch oil I hoped would work on my neglected dial indicators and micrometer threads.
Your inspiring me, I may try and steal the time to remove the movement.
Thanks ever so much

Free advice is worth exactly what you payed for it.
