AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

This is a Dutch standing clock from URGOS / Warmink (WUBA)
– despite the picture with “Christiaan Huygens” (that is purely decorative/marketing).
Important detail from your photo:
Movement: “URGOS – Made in Germany – No jewels – Unadjusted” typical for post-war mass production.
Age
Based on:
URGOS movement
case with veneered rosewood / looks solid but industrially made
moon phase dial with rural scene
overall finish
± 1970 – 1985
So: not antique, but a tidy vintage clock.
Specifications (what I see)
3 weights → 8-day movement
probably:
quarter strike (Westminster or bim-bam)
hour and strike mechanism separated
moon phase (decorative, often working)
columns and arch in “Dutch style” (reproduction)

Clock runs.
