I like where you are going with this idea. Modern innards in an old body.
Keep us posted on how and what you used.

Yeah ebay £59 not working and had one hand ...lol ..... F/B £40 perfect working order so totally ignored the advert the guy had zero profile so i blanked it as it seemed a scammer to me .
I started looking at grafting on the original clock face and hand to a generic clock mechanism. You will need a mini lathe to accurately turn or remake the shafts in nylon for good results.
But it is a fantastic idea. I have a radio control signal version so the clock will never be wrong - unlike the original which is never right.
If someone can do it, then selling it as kit would be a nice idea.

when clock stops working its still right twice a day .
Which is likely more often than when it is working...

got my first one working when I desoldered the very thin coil wire joint . after a few years it started to lose time ..tried adjusting with the small screw but made no difference so bought replacement (used) this one works and only loses few minutes a day 
so set correct before leaving or even few mins advance and most of day its good ideally a modern inner works using old front and hands would be better but not seen any conversions ..yet.

LIke any clock, they lever off the front.

Tried on mine and felt the force was too much without incurring internal stress , so stopped.
Well, I had 3 spares one which didn't work... So nothing to lose...
