Our high precision Quartz Clock Mechanisms are great if you want to make your own clock or for replacing faulty clock mechanisms and come with all required fixing hardware and hour, minute and second hands.

They are accurate to within 30 seconds per month and run from one AA Battery which lasts over a year. The time is easily set or adjusted with the dial on the back of the unit.

Popular uses include laser cutting custom designs from Perspex or plywood to make into clocks, but if you’re after a more complete kit you can try our clock making kit, or assemble your own kit from our range of accessories.

Features:

  • Quality quartz clock movement.
  • Includes hands and fixings.
  • Energy-efficient.
  • Accurate timekeeping.

Contents:

  • 1 x Quartz clock mechanism.
  • 1 x Second hand.
  • 1 x Minute hand.
  • 1 x Hour hand.
  • 1 x Washer.
  • 1 x Fixing nut.

Possible applications include:

  • Replacing faulty clock mechanisms.
  • Making your own clock.

Dimensions:

  • Width: 54mm.
  • Height: 54mm.
  • Depth: 14mm.

Hand Lengths:

  • Hour hand: 62mm.

    Asked by Tom Barber on February 14, 2018 12:00 am
    Answered by the admin Hi Tom, It is difficult to say if this would be suitable, it is likely that it may be similar but depending on what the clock movement is being placed into would depend how accurate the replacement would need to be.

    Q Can i use this mechanism without the large seconds hand ?
    Asked by Wayne on December 14, 2017 12:00 am
    Answered by the admin Hi Wayne, The issue with not using the red second hand is this prevents the hour and minute hand from coming off the spindle. The only way around this would be to keep the center of the second hand and remove the parts from either end. This means the center circle can be put onto the end of the spindle but as the long part of the hand has been removed it wouldn't appear to show the seconds.

    8. Making a glass clock, existing movement I have states it's not suitable to hang if clock weighs any more than 500gms - weight could stop clock. Mine are a bit heavier. Finding it impossible to find another type of fixing so would your clock movements be ok to hang a 500-750 gm weight clock?Thank you.

    Asked by Jeni Smallridge on August 29, 2017 12:00 am
    Answered by the admin Hi Jeni, Unfortunately we don't have any information regarding what weight these clock movements can take. However it is very likely that the amount of weight that can be placed on the spindle is very limited, and as such I do not suspect that these movements could handle that clock face weight. The clock faces which we sell weight less than 100 grams.

    Asked by Karen on June 2, 2017 12:00 am
    Answered by the admin Hi Karen, Technically you cut possibly cut the end down to make it fit your required space although we haven't tried this our self. You may not be able to get a clean cut however as the plastic is fairly stiff.

    Asked by mike boulton on April 10, 2017 12:00 am
    Answered by the admin Hi Mike, It is very unlikely that this movement would be identical to the one you need to replace. However as we don’t have any details regarding the original movement it is very difficult to give any further advise. In theory, if the movement fits into the housing and through the centre hole then it may be that it can be used as an alternative movement.

    Asked by Maureen Brett on March 13, 2017 12:00 am
    Answered by the admin Hi Maureen, It is difficult to say if the hands on your clock mechanism would fit onto the one we stock. It’s very lightly that although they look similar the size of the holes on the hand and the way the second hand fixes onto the movement may be different.

    Asked by dave hart on March 6, 2017 12:00 am
    Answered by the admin Hi Dave, I have just doubled checked and the measurement for the hour hand of 65mm that we list is correct, this includes the circle section as well, so this movement should be fine for the length of the hour hand.

    Asked by Stuart Allen on March 3, 2017 12:00 am
    Answered by the admin Hello Stuart, Unfortunately this is the only movement we stock. However if you housed the movement in a waterproof enclose with the spindle coming through this you could then have the clock outside. The enclosure could also then form the clock face.

    Q What are the diameters of the hour and second hand shafts please?
    Asked by John Squire on July 4, 2016 12:00 am
    Answered by the admin Rita,


    I’ve just got a clock movement out and done some measuring, please be aware that I’ve only measured one, so whilst these figures will be indicative of all movements, there may be a small amount of variation.
    The inside of the hour hand is measuring 4.9mm and the shaft tapers from 5.0mm to 5.1mm. The inside of the second hand is 2.95mm and the shaft tapers from 3.17mm to 3.24mm. I’m unable to measure the second hand as it is inside the assembly, but I suspect the pin that the hand fits on to is 0.8mm, but please remember this is not measured.
    Best regards
    Michael

    Asked by Stuart on May 9, 2016 12:00 am
    Answered by the admin It is difficult to say if this would be complicated and how expensive this would be to do. The mechanism is located within the housing, and as such this would need to be opened up to allow you to make alterations to how it works. After a quick search there seems to be little information on creating these so I would suspect they could be difficult to create.

    Asked by John Millward on August 24, 2015 12:00 am
    Answered by the admin Our clock movements use plastic hands which weight a maximum of 6g’s, as such it wouldn’t be advisable to use components heavy than this. The clock mechanism can be used with the MDF clock faces which are 170mm in diameter, as such a clock face of 80cm may place a lot of strain on the spindle of the movement.
    27. Please could you tell me the total length of the spindle on this clock movement, WITH the seconds hand fitted?Is the fixing nut 2mm thick?I am trying to replace a quartz clock movement and have very limited space. The clock face is 5mm thick and there is a 13mm space from the front of the clock face to the glass. I am prepared to add packing washers to move the movement further away from the rear of the face, but need to know that everything will fit properly. I look forward to your guidance.Cheers.

    Asked by John on March 31, 2015 12:00 am
    Answered by the admin The spindle is roughly 21mm including the second hand, and the nut is 2.3mm thick. The thickness of the clock movement body itself is 15.8mm. So the total for the body and spindle is roughly 36.8mm.

    Asked by harry on October 31, 2012 12:00 am
    Answered by the admin Lots of the clock movements are made to the same specification possibly even in the same factory in China. There are some minor variations such as shaft length and the size of the hands. All you really need to check is that the mounting hole in your face is 8mm and then I think the unit will fit fine. It of course doesn't have a pendulum on it, but if your happy to not have that functionality then it will do the job.
