Young Town 12888 Large Torque Silent Quartz Wall Clock Movement

Give your oversized DIY wall clock a new lease on life with the Young Town Quartz 12888 Large Torque Silent Clock Movement. Engineered specifically for large-diameter clock faces and long clock hands, this high-torque quartz movement delivers whisper-quiet, tick-free timekeeping — perfect for bedrooms, offices, and living spaces where silence matters.

The 12888SM0 heightened minute-needle column adds an extra 2 mm of separation between the hour and minute hands, solving the common problem of overlapping or touching hands on large wall clocks and heavily weighted DIY clock pins. The result is smooth, reliable rotation even when counter-weighted hands are installed.

Key Features

  • Silent sweep movement — jump-second mechanism for near-silent operation
  • High torque output — drives large, heavy clock hands with ease
  • Heightened minute-needle column — 2 mm extra clearance prevents hand contact on large faces
  • I-shaped shaft hole — fits standard DIY clock face mounting
  • Durable ABS housing — lightweight and long-lasting
  • Long battery life — up to 1 year on a single AA (1.5V) battery
  • Wide operating temperature — -10°C to 50°C (-14°F to 122°F)
  • 2-pointer 12-hour format — hour and minute hands included setup

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What size clock hands does the Young Town 12888 large torque movement support?

A: The Young Town 12888 is designed for large DIY wall clocks and can drive long, heavy clock hands that standard low-torque movements cannot handle. The heightened minute-needle column adds 2 mm of extra clearance between hour and minute hands, making it ideal for oversized decorative or handcrafted clock faces where standard movements fall short.

Q: Is this quartz clock movement truly silent?

A: Yes. The 12888 uses a jump-second quartz mechanism that operates with near-silent movement — there is no loud ticking sound. This makes it an excellent choice for bedrooms, nurseries, home offices, or any space where quiet is important.

Q: What battery does this clock movement use, and how long will it last?

A: The movement is powered by a standard 1.5V AA battery (not included) and is rated for approximately one year of battery life under normal operating conditions. The low working current (under 150 µA) keeps energy consumption minimal.

Q: Will this movement fit my existing clock shaft hole?

A: The 12888 features an I-shaped shaft hole, which is a standard mounting configuration for DIY and replacement clock movements. It is compatible with most clock faces designed for standard quartz movements. Check your clock face shaft hole dimensions before ordering to confirm fit.
