Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What size clock face is this quartz movement compatible with?
A: This high-torque quartz clock movement is designed for large wall clocks with a face diameter of 600mm (approximately 24 inches) or larger. The included hour hand measures 203mm and the minute hand 305mm from center hole to tip, making it ideal for oversized DIY clock projects.
Q: What battery does this clock movement require?
A: A standard AA battery is recommended to power this quartz movement. Please note that no battery is included in the package — you will need to supply your own.
Q: Will this movement fit a thick clock panel?
A: The mandrel (shaft) length is 28mm, which is suitable for clock panels up to 10mm thick. If your panel is thicker than 10mm, you may need an extended shaft or a different movement version.
Q: Is the sweep movement truly silent?
A: Yes! The loudspeaker mute (silent sweep) mechanism means the hands move in a smooth, continuous motion rather than the traditional tick-by-tick step. This eliminates the audible ticking sound, making it perfect for quiet living rooms, bedrooms, or offices.
Q: Can I use this kit to replace a broken movement in an existing clock?
A: Absolutely. This kit is designed both for new DIY clock builds and as a direct replacement for worn-out or broken quartz movements. As long as your existing clock panel is up to 10mm thick and your clock face is 600mm or larger, this movement and the included hardware should be a straightforward swap.
