What the heck is this?

Hi all. I came across this which seems to be an early mechaquartz Clock. My Gran says its early 80s, Russian (clock face and movement say West German so `\_(",)_/' ) and from what I can figure seems to be harnessing electromagnets. I thought it was fascinating and wondered if anyone here might have any insight. Ok, ciao!

Just be sure to cut the blue wire BEFORE the red wire.
