Hand Description
These Maltese Quartz Clock Hands have a nice design that falls between the Serpentine look and Spade. Furthermore, Maltese clock hands are a distinctive style of clock hands that came about from the traditional Maltese cross.
The Sovereign Military Order of Malta associates this symbol.
These hands typically have a bold, angular design with straight edges that widen towards the tips, forming a shape reminiscent of the Maltese cross. Also, their design adds a touch of sophistication and character to timepieces.
Thus enhancing the overall visual appeal of this style of hand. One of the key features of Maltese clock hands is their versatility. In addition, customers can purchase a variety of sizes.
So while they can complement vintage and antique clocks, they also blend well with contemporary or modern clock designs.
The hour hand is a friction fit. Because of this, just push the hour hand onto the post. Then the minute hand mounts by an oblong mounting hole.
Therefore the hand is held in place with a nut. These fit all battery clock movements that Clockworks sells.
So measure the minute hand from the center of the mounting hole to the end. This is the proper length to order. Furthermore these hands are sold as a pair. So this means the set has an hour hand and a minute hand.
However, only meausure the minute hand to get the correct length.
No matter what type of clock a customer may have, the maltese design is always a good choice. Customers have a choice between black hands and gold hands. So depending on the color of the clock face, one of these colors looks amazing.
This style hand is one that cannot go wrong. They look great on modern clocks as well as antique clocks.

These are sold as a pair with both hour and minute hands. Of course, styles vary depending on length.
Quartz Clock Hands
These are quartz Clock Hands that will fit any battery movement we offer. There are two types of quartz hands in the world. One is the China standard and one is the American standard. The China way of using the hands is with round holes in both the hour and minute hands.
Comparatively, the American style has an oblong mounting hole in the minute hand and a round hole for the hour hand that fits what is known as an “I” shaft. All of the hands that we offer fit “I” shaft movements only. In other words all of them will fit the quartz movements that we sell.

When replacing a quartz clock movement, the old hands may fit the new movement just fine. However, if there is an oblong hole in the minute hand, chances are good that it will fit.
The hour hand will fit the new quartz movement either way. To clarify, it is the minute hand (the longer of the two hands) that is a concern. In any event, if in doubt, it is best to order new hands for the new movement upon checking out. This way it will be all set and you will have everything you need for a smooth movement swap out.
Measuring and Ordering New Hands
Quartz clock hands come together as a set, but you only measure the minute hand when replacing them. Measure it, the long hand, from the mounting hole to the tip. The shorter hand, the hour hand, comes with the minute hand and is proportionally smaller.
For larger dials that are more than 10 inches wide, see our High Torque movement and Hands section. As for Second hands, they will fit the high torque clock movements, however they do not come in long lengths like the minute hands do.
Mounting Quartz Clock Hands
Mounting quartz clock hands is easy. First put on the hour hand, with it’s round hole. As a friction fit, just push it on. The minute hand, with its oblong mounting hole, and goes on next.
Fit it onto the “I” on the top of the shaft. To tighten the hands use the nut with a hole if using a second hand. However, use the cap nut if not using a second hand.

What are the numbers off of the back plate of the clock movement itself? If it is hard to get to, usually you can stick a cell phone up behind the movement and get a picture of the numbers. Or through the side access panel if there is one.
Not off the paper work, not off the wooden case, but the movement stamp itself
