How to Choose the Right Clock Movement
The most important measurement is shaft length — the threaded post that passes through your clock face. Measure the thickness of your clock face material and choose a shaft length that extends at least 2–3mm beyond the front surface to allow the hands to mount correctly. For a bedroom or quiet space, choose a silent sweep movement. For a traditional look or a space where the tick is part of the aesthetic, a standard step movement is the right choice.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know which clock movement to buy?
Measure the thickness of your clock face and choose a movement with a shaft length that extends through the face with 2–3mm to spare. Most standard clock faces up to 10mm thick suit a standard shaft; thicker faces require a high-torque or extended shaft movement.
Are these movements suitable for large clock faces?
Standard quartz movements suit clock hands up to approximately 15–20cm in length. For larger clock faces with longer hands, a high-torque movement is required to drive the additional weight reliably. All movements ship to every state and territory across Australia, with fast dispatch from our warehouse and free delivery on orders over $100.
