Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What clock face thickness does the 28mm long shaft quartz movement fit?
A: The 28mm shaft length is designed for thick clock faces — including cross-stitch frames, shadow box clocks, and layered DIY builds. The screw pattern spans 19mm, accommodating clock faces and panels with significant depth that standard short-shaft movements cannot reach.
Q: Is this silent quartz clock movement really tick-free?
A: Yes. This mechanism uses a sweep-style quartz motor that moves the hands in a continuous, smooth motion rather than a step-by-step tick. The result is near-silent operation, making it an excellent choice for bedrooms, nurseries, offices, or any quiet environment.
Q: What battery does this wall clock movement require, and how long will it last?
A: This movement runs on a single standard AA 1.5V battery (not included). Thanks to its ultra-low instantaneous current draw of ≤150μA, a quality AA battery can power the mechanism for 12 months or more under normal conditions.
Q: Can I use this quartz movement as a direct replacement in an existing wall clock?
A: In most cases, yes — provided your clock frame accommodates the 28mm shaft length and the hand shaft hole aligns. Simply remove the old movement unit, insert this one, reattach the clock hands, and install a fresh AA battery. Always verify your clock's shaft hole diameter and face thickness before ordering.
