- Accurate with +/- 1 second per day
- Built-in wall-hanger holds up to 4 lbs
- Runs on one (1) AA Battery (not included)
- Clock Hands and Hardware: Included to assemble the clock hands to the quartz clock movement.
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.

Low build quality, the second hand won't advance past 41 seconds. It happened with two different units.

The clock works were easy to install and seem accurate. It saved a clock we bought years ago in Costa Rica as it finally wore out and we liked the looks of it.

Great replacement for my near 30 yo Winchester wall clock. Not silent with continuous movement like other clocks but instead a very deliberate yet very quiet ticking movement which was exactly what I was looking for. An improvement over the louder original movement.

I have two ceramic clocks that the clock mechanisms had failed quite some time ago. I put off replacing them thinking of time involved and whether I could find the correct size. These are excellent replacements, easy to install with very clear directions. But with most items of this sort you need to measure carefully, with diagrams in the item description you can’t go wrong. Was hesitant to purchase as I was not a fan of the red second hand, but it’s growing on me. My two clocks are up and running.

بعد تركيبه بدا العمل لمده قصيره جدا و بعد ذلك بدا التاخير و عندكا شككت في البطاريات بدلتها بافضل الانواع بدون فائده و عندما حاولت اعادة المنتج اتصح انه بدون اي ضمان و ان فترة الاعادة تقتضي ان يكون مغلق و بالكرتونه علما بانه جاء بتغليف سيء جدا و بدائي

Good thing husband is handy. He reports it was not difficult to install. He did have a little confusion trying to decide which size to purchase, took acquiring some new knowledge which was not easily found. But it did work out and the clock is working again. WELL, THERE HAS BEEN SOME TIME BETWEEN INSTALL AND WHEN I WROTE THE FIRST RATING. THIS BRAND MAY WELL BE GOOD, BUT THERE IS NO, I REPEAT, NO SIMPLE WAY TO FIGURE WHAT SIZE THREAD YOU NEED. The company needs to improve their non-existent customer service.

The kit came with two minute hands and no hour hand making it useless as shipped. Fortunately we were able to use the hour hand from the broken mechanism otherwise we would have needed to return it. Should have better quality control.

I wanted to get an old clock running again, and so I studied the old clock movement and found this as a replacement. At the price, I was willing to take a chance. And it works perfectly.The biggest issue was making sure I got the right one. These are made to go through material of a certain thickness, so be sure to measure your clock--or the old movement--accurately and buy the one you need. Once you have it, it's a straightforward process to put this one in the clock. Just a couple of screws. It comes with instructions, but it's so intuitive, it hardly matters.I didn't use the included hands (second, minute, hour). The clock already had perfectly good ones. Placing the old hands on this movement worked just fine.It's not going to impress anyone. It's plastic, and it can be twisted out of position fairly easily. But it works, keeps time accurately, and makes the clock look just as it did before.

This unit is good for clocks that have a thicker dial and/or a deeper bezel. The 7/8" hand shaft length projects out by that amount beyond the face of the dial and the second hand is mounted on the very top of the hand shaft. Measure to make sure there is enough room for the second hand to move without hitting the inside of the bezel. Spacers could be used to draw the unit further back but it would be better to buy a lower profile unit. The dial face that I used this unit for was about 12" in diameter. Most of my other clocks were smaller and would use a unit with a shorter hand shaft length.

I've purchased four of these movements and so far they are all performing flawlessly. Easy to install and set, just be sure you order the correct shaft length to fit the dial thickness of your clock. If you are building a clock or repairing an existing one I would highly recommend the Quartex Q-80 Quartz Clock Movement.
