48V impulse driver for slave clock

Hi
I need some advice finding a solution to my problem:
I have a slave clock (mechanical) which requires a 48V input, with alternating current every 60s.

I've bought an impulse driver which only outputs 24V, which is not enough to make it run. The clock works because I have tested it manually (switching the plug pins by hand with 48V input).

What I need is something like a universal impulse driver, something like this I am guessing:
http://www.allspectrum.com/store/universal-impulse-driver-c-101.
But they don't make them anymore..

Does anyone know where I can get this? Or else I will have to make something to fit my needs. I am new to circuitry and it would be great to have your advice on where to start - are there kits for this type of thing?

Does it need 48v dc or ac, you can use the mains frequency as the timebase, with a 48v transformer and a counter divider to give a pulse every 60seconds. Or use a xtal clock with a cd4040, cd4060 chip.

Thanks for all your feedback. To be more specific:
I need an off-the-shelf product which gives a 48V alternating pulse ( + and -) every minute (less than 1s, not sure exactly how long).
