Mini Pendulum Movement (13mm Shaft)

​​​​​​Mini Pendulum Quartz Clock Movement

This Press Fit mini pendulum quartz clock movement comes with all necessary fittings to assemble together. Please read all of the information in the description below carefully to ensure the movement will be an appropriate fit prior to purchasing.

The movement has a total shaft length of 13mm and can be used as a replacement for many types of small pendulum clocks, or clocks that have a small hole above the #6 on the clock face. This movement also features an upper rocker on top of the movement, meaning that a decorative item can be placed on top, which rocks back and forth whilst the pendulum swings below. This item does not have to be used to keep accurate time but rather to be featured as a novelty item. This movement will run hands up to 120mm long only.

Hands are NOT included by default with this movement, however we do have compatible press fit hands which are available to purchase seperately HERE.

Important note: We cannot guarantee compatibility between your existing hands and our movements. To avoid any issues, be sure to gather accurate measurements, and verify that they match the exact specifications outlined in this description. Please read the entire description thoroughly to ensure all measurements will work with this movement.

1 x Press Fit mini pendulum quartz movement (13mm shaft length, with a threaded section measuring 5mm in length)

Press fit shaft (both the hour and minute hand will push on- measured from the face of the movement to the very end of the shaft)

The Importance Of Getting Correct Measurements

In order to find a correct replacement, you will first need to gather a few measurements and information from your current movement. A model number alone does not provide enough information to replace a movement- you will also need to determine the following:

1. Type of movement/hands you are replacing (press fit, euro shaft or high torque)

Your current minute hand will be able to easily indicate what type of movement you have. Simply examine the hole in your minute hand. 

• If it is round or has a hexagonal looking eyelet, and if the hand pushes onto the shaft then your movement is a press fit movement
• If the hole has two straight sides and a rounded top and bottom, then your movement is a euro shaft movement
• If your minute hand is over 160mm in length then we strongly recommend that you use a high torque movement

Please note, your minute hand hole should be visible. If there is anything protruding from your original minute hand then you may have removed the minute shaft with the hand by accident. To separate this shaft from the minute hand you will need to unscrew the hand nut on the front of the hand.

 2. Hand Hole Dimensions (Shaft Diameter Of Hands)

As the shaft diameter for all hands varies significantly, your original hands may not be compatible with the replacement movement that you select. It is important that you measure the hand hole dimensions to confirm whether it is a match. If not, you can order replacement hands that will be compatible with your replacement movement. In addition, the total length of the hands are measured from the centre of the hole to the tip, not from end to end.

3. Total Shaft Length Of Your Current Movement

Measure the total shaft length of your old movement by measuring from the face of the movement to the very end of the shaft. This measurement is the entire shaft length when the movement has been removed from the clock. It is important to get accurate measurements especially if your clock has a lens. We also recommend measuring your dial thickness to ensure the replacement movement will be a suitable fit.
