Not know much about the clock in question... ...how about replacing the weight and cable with an endless cable and motor to constantly 'pull' on the thing... You might have to remove a few parts, but may be able to make the changes so you can always restore the clock to original condition later.
...maybe put the motor on a spring pivot mount, and 'wind' the spring mount between two sepoints.
