Hence, the movement will be held in place to the back of the dial (clock face) and will not move. Of course, there needs to be enough threads sticking out for the hex nut to be put on. Subsequently, the post will stick out through the front of the clock dial. It can’t be too long or the hands will not move correctly.Ĭlockworks has a variety of quartz clock movement lengths to accommodate a variety of different materials since some are wood and some are metal and some are plastic, etc.Ībove all, when replacing a quartz movement it means measuring quartz post lengths. It needs to be long enough for a small hex nut to screw onto it. The shaft with the threads needs to go through the dial/face of the clock from the back to the front. The length of the threaded portion of the post/shaft, is the measurement that you need. When working on a quartz clock movement measurement the post has to be long enough to go through whatever thickness that the clock face/dial, might be. This applies to all Clockworks quartz movements, including chiming quartz, and time only quartz movements.

Point the hour hand to whatever hour it rang out. In conclusion, to complete the chime quartz movement installation, turn the minute hand to make it chime and strike out the hours. Use fingers to push it onto the pin that is in the center of the post.

Second handĪdditionally, if there is a second hand this goes on just by a friction fit and this would be last. Therefore, the minute hand needs the nut to secure it. The minute hand has an oblong hole and mounts onto the oblong shaft at the end of the unit. All it needs is just a twist and push motion. Know the names of the parts is always helpful in completing a quartz movement installation. A clock dial is the part with the hands and numbers on it and is also called a clock face.
