Silent Clock Movement | 12mm Spindle | Max 3mm Board | Pack of 1 - Dials

Build a quiet clock on a thin dial with this silent sweep quartz movement, where the second hand glides without a tick. It has a short 12mm spindle for dials up to 3mm thick, takes hands with a 5.1mm hour hole and runs on one AA battery, not included. A short shaft keeps the hands close to a thin face while leaving thread for the nut.
