Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What shaft length should I choose for my clock movement replacement?

A: The correct shaft length depends on the thickness of your clock face plate. Measure the thickness of your clock dial or panel, then choose a shaft that extends at least 2–3mm beyond the face for proper hand attachment. The available options — 8mm, 12mm, 14.8mm, 17mm, 20mm, and 23mm — cover most standard DIY and replacement clock applications. Note that the 8mm shaft does not have threads; all other lengths are threaded.

Q: Is the Young Town 12888 movement truly silent?

A: Yes. The Young Town 12888 uses a silent jump-seconds quartz motor, which moves the seconds hand in smooth, near-silent steps rather than the loud tick-tock of traditional stepping motors. This makes it ideal for quiet environments such as bedrooms, libraries, and offices.

Q: What accessories are included with this clock movement kit?

A: Each unit includes the quartz movement module, a metal gasket, a plastic gasket, and a securing nut for installation. Clock hands and an AA battery are not included and must be sourced separately.

Q: Can this movement be used in a music box or other DIY timing project?

A: Absolutely. The Young Town 12888 is designed for use in wall clocks, music boxes, and any custom DIY timing project that requires a compact, accurate quartz mechanism. Its standard 56 × 56mm footprint fits most clock frames.
