Clock Movement Machine | 22mm Spindle | Max 11mm Board | Pack of 1 - Wall Clocks

Give a medium thick clock board a steady ticking heartbeat with this quartz movement. Its 22mm spindle fits boards up to 11mm thick, it takes hands with a 5.1mm hour hole and it runs on one AA battery (not included). If you are new to this, the spindle is the threaded shaft at the front; it has to pass through your board and still show a little thread for the nut.

How to Use

1. Measure your board, including any dial sheet or backing, and check it is 11mm thick or thinner.
2. Take the nut and washer off the shaft. If you use a movement hanger hook, slip it over the shaft now.
3. Push the shaft through the centre hole from the back, put the washer on at the front and tighten the nut until the movement sits firmly.
4. Point every hand at 12 as you fit it: press on the hour hand first, then the minute hand, then the second hand.
5. Put in one AA battery and set the time with the knob on the back.

Before You Buy

• Hands are not included.
• The AA battery is not included.
• For boards thicker than 11mm, choose the 28mm spindle movement instead.
• This is a standard movement, so keep the minute hand to about 150mm or shorter.

Frequently Asked Questions

What board thickness does the 22mm movement fit?
Boards up to 11mm thick. That leaves enough thread at the front for the washer and nut.

Can I use any clock hands with it?
You can use standard quartz clock hands with a 5.1mm hour hole and a 3.3mm oblong minute hole. Check the hand listing for the hole size before you buy.

Should I buy the 22mm or the 18mm movement?
Use the 18mm movement for boards 3 to 7mm thick. Use this 22mm one when your board is thicker, up to 11mm.

Is a hanger included?
No. Only the movement with its washer and nut is included, so add a hanger hook if your clock needs one.
