HELP CHOOSING YOUR CLOCK KIT:
    Please get a pen and paper and write down your options as you go along, after reviewing these questions and coming up with a basic plan, call us and we will help complete the details and give you a quote.

Would you like a Spring Driven or a Weight Driven clock kit?
     A spring driven simply means the clock has either one (for time only) two (for time, strike) or three (for quarterly chimes and hourly strike) winders to wind up every 8 days. This means that you wind it all the way up once per week and if you forget a day its ok because there is a one day reserve. Being spring driven means there will be holes in the dial to put the key into and the clock will have no weights dangling from it. This style movement is available for mantle, wall or grandmother clocks. A weight driven clock means the clock will have either two weights (for time, strike) or three weights (for quarterly chimes and hourly strike) and are used in floor clocks only such as a grandmother clock or a grandfather clock. Each movement would have their own weight specifications as to how much the weight is to weigh.

Would you like the movement to be a Coil Gong, BimBam, Westminster or Triple Chime?
    Coil Gong is usually used in wall clocks and sometimes mantle clocks, the movement would have one hammer striking a gong shaped in a coil, with the hammer being on the back of the clock. Bim Bam makes a sound like its name on the half hour such as "BimBam" and on the hour it will count out the hours, such as if it is two o'clock it will chime "BimBam BimBam". This type of movement can have the hammers on the side of it or underneath it. These are used in both wall and mantle clocks. Westminster chime units play a tune every fifteen minutes and then on the hour, after it plays its song, it will strike out the hours. This style movement comes available for all styles of clocks, wall, mantle, grandfathers and grandmothers. The hammer arrangement can either be on the back, bottom or even side. Triple chime units are like Westminster as it plays every fifteen minutes, but you have a choice of three songs to select from. The three songs are Westminster, Whittington or Saint Michaels. Again, after its done playing the song at the hour, it will then strike out what hour it is. These styles of clock movements have the option of having the hammers on the back or on the bottom.

Would you like a Balance escapement or a Pendulum escapement?
    A Balance escapement means the clock has no pendulum, instead the clock has an oscillating wheel like a watch. This type of movement is most popular in mantle clocks. A Pendulum unit is of course just this, it has a pendulum that wig wags back and forth from the back of the movement. This type of movement is used in all clocks, even mantle clocks if the pendulum is short enough.

If a Pendulum unit, what style, length and Bob Diameter?
    Pendulums for wall, grandmother and grandfather clocks come in two styles, wood stick with brass colored bob or completely metal with a fancy brass style. The metal pendulum is called a Lyre and is brass colored with a fancy design on it. The pendulum length on Hermle and Kieninger movement kits (the only two companies making movements today) are measured from the suspension post of the movement all the way down to the bottom of the threads of the rating nut. This measurement is made in Centimeters and is stamped on the back plate of the movement. So this measurement is not only the pendulum from tip to tip, but also the leader that the pendulum attaches to, and also the suspension spring that the leader is attached to. In this case to determine your desired pendulum length you would measure from the top of where the movement is to be and go down from there to the point in the case in which you would like the pendulum length to end. If you provide this measurement to us in inches we can give you the CM conversion. A bob is the round disk at the bottom of the swinging pendulum. This disk is available in different diameters for floor clocks, most people like the biggest diameter the clock will take unless they have a closed waist on the clock in which the pendulum will not be seen. To determine how Large of a bob diameter you need it will require the width of the case on the inside where the pendulum will swing.

What Handshaft length would you like?
    Often the movement will come in two hand shaft lengths. A hand shaft is the shaft in which the hands are set on and it is measured from the front plate of the movement itself to the very tip of the threads for the minute hand nut. Usually the options are 33.2mm or 53.2mm. What the longer hand shaft would do is set the movement back further from the dial than the shorter hand shaft, this would in turn also set the pendulum and weights back further if the clock were to have them.

What hand style would you like?
    We will send you hands that are the correct size for your dial diameter but would need to know what style you would like. For Hermle units the hands come in Spade or Serpentine shaped. For Kieninger movements the hand style comes in serpentine only.

What is the style and dimensions of the Dial you would like?
    There are many dials for wall and mantle clocks, we would need to know if you would like a square dial or round, gold or white, Arabic or Roman numerals, and of course what size. If the clock is going to be spring driven then we will hole punch the dial to fit the movement you are using. As for grandmother clocks, dials usually are only available in two sizes, 9 x 13 7/8 or 11 x 15 7/8 from the bottom to the top of the hump on the top. There is a hump because there is the words Tempus Fugit on the top, or there is a disk that will tell you the phase of the moon, one or the other. They are usually available in Arabic or Roman and only need holes punched in it if they are spring driven. Grandfather clock dials come in one size only, this size is 11 x 15 1/2 and has a hump on the top that has the phase of the moon disk. These dials come pre-punched for cable driven units, chain driven unit dials do not have holes punched in it.

Would you like a Chain Driven movement or Cable?
    This question only applies to floor clock kits. On a chain driven movement you would open the door to the case and pull down on one side of the chain as to raise the weight on the other side of it. The clock will run for 8 days on a full wind, so you would wind it once a week but if you forget a day its ok because of the one day reserve. For cable driven clock kits, you would open the top door to the case to get to the dial (face of the clock) and put in a key crank to wind up the clock. This would in turn wind the cables back up and raise the height of the weight. Again this is done once per week with a one day reserve.
