Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What type of battery does this silent quartz clock movement require?
A: This clock movement is powered by a single standard AA battery (not included). On a fresh AA battery, the movement typically runs for 5 to 8 months before needing replacement, making it very economical for everyday use.
Q: Will this sweep movement fit thick clock faces or custom DIY clock boards?
A: Yes! The long shaft measures 12 mm, which is designed to accommodate thicker clock faces — including boards up to approximately 25 mm thick. It is ideal for DIY projects using wood slabs, thick acrylic, or decorative faces that standard short-shaft movements cannot handle.
Q: Is this movement truly silent, and can it be used in a bedroom?
A: Absolutely. Unlike conventional step-tick movements, this quartz sweep motor rotates the second hand in a continuous gliding motion with no audible clicking. It is well-suited for quiet spaces such as bedrooms, nurseries, study rooms, and offices.
