Selecting a New or Replacement Quartz Clock Movement:
Length of the hand shaft on the movement
The proper hand shaft length is essential to ensure sufficient clearance when going through your dial board and if you are using a glass front on your clock. Measure from the base of the movement to the tip of the hand shaft, as shown above. You must allow sufficient clearance for the hand shaft in order to attach the mounting hardware and for the hands to properly operate.
Threaded Bushing Length
The threaded bushing length of the hand shaft secures your clock movement to the clock face and support board. Measure the threaded bushing portion of an existing shaft, as shown above For new movements, measure the total thickness of the clock face material (clock face and support board) the shaft will have to pass through.
Assembling your Quartz Movement, Dial and Hands
Instructions for assembling your Quartz Movement, Dial and Hands
1. Rubber Gasket:
- Place the rubber gasket between the clock movement & clock face.
2. Clock Face:
- Place the brass washer between the clock face & the hex nut.
- Tighten the hex nut down to hold the movement firmly in position.
3. Hour and Minute Hands:
- Temporarily place the minute hand over the "I" shaft as illustrated and rotate the minute hand clockwise until it is pointing at the "12" on the clock face. Then carefully remove it without rotating the "I" shaft.
- Choose any number on your clock face to align the hour hand with. Very carefully press the hour hand straight down onto the tapered, friction-fit hour shaft until the hand is firmly in place.
- When you have the hour hand mounted, carefully remount the minute hand at "12".
4. Second Hand or Cap Nut:
- Tighten the open nut down to hold the hour and minute hands in position and then press the stem of the second hand down over the tiny second-hand pin shaft that protrudes up through the center of the minute hand shaft.
- Tighten the cap nut down to hold the hour and minute hands in position if the second hand is not going to be used.

This clock is tracking right along with my phone's clock which is linked to the national standard. I am amazed at how well it works.

The movement seems to work ok, though it's only been running for an hour. 3 negatives:1. The battery compartment barely accommodated an Eveready AA battery requiring lots of forcing. Sure a snug fit is necessary, but this was nuts.2. The time adjuster on the back is as minimal and cheap as it gets. That makes setting the time more of a pain than needs be.3. Small, petty gripe - I don't recall seeing a choice of colors for the hands. If I missed that, it's on me. But to default to white color, not a great contrast color, seems silly

The replacement movement arrived on time and in new condition. It was quick and easy to install, with clear directions provided by the manufacturer. I was able to reuse all but the second hand off of my old clock to retain its former look. After a week it's going strong with no issues.

The previous works in my special clock died after nearly 20 years of service. I replaced it with an almost identical Quartex movement. Easy job. The instructions are simple and CLEAR--in good English (how refreshing!)The ticking sound of the second hand isn't as loud, which is good... although I used the louder ticking of the previous works to time certain exercises. But if you're trying to sleep, this will be a relief.

Replaces a movement on a plate. Exact size to match what we had. Take the time to figure out what your dimensions are before ordering. Works great!

This clock kit was a perfect fit for the one I needed to replace, which was made by the same company. The old one was made in the USA. This one came from China. I could even use the original hands for the clock, which had a better "look" than the replacements that came with the clock. The only thing I had a slight problem with was inserting a battery. It was a VERY tight fit.
