Quartz Clock Movement Removal
This note explains quartz clock movement removal from the case. The following does not apply to quartz units made in Germany or inserts.
To remove the movement, you need access to the back of the clock and the front side of the clock dial. There are so many case designs it would not be possible to cover all of the different variations.
The clock case went to together so it comes apart. It may take a bit of probing but there is always a way to take it apart because it went together.
Getting access to the dial area
There are many case designs and styles and there is no way for us to know how the current specific clock went together. Most of the time the removal process is very easy but of course there are some instances where it is not user friendly.
Thus, it is on the users end to be able to access the dial and movement area to continue with the swap out.
Clock hand removal
Quartz clock movement removal always needs the hands to come off first. There are two reasons for this.
First, need to have access to the hardware that mounts the movement. Second, there is no way to take get the movement out of the clock if the hands are still on it. They certainly will not fit through the hole in the clock.
Quartz Clock Movement Removal - Minute hand
Quartz clock movements have two styles of minute hands. One style has a nut that holds it in place and the other style is a friction fit.
The friction fit has no nut and just pulls off with a twist and pull. The second style has a minute hand nut to secure the minute hand. Removal is done by turning the nut to the left with needle nose pliers. Once the nut is loose it only requires fingers to unscrew it.
Hour hand
In a Quartz clock Movement removal task, the hour hand is only a friction fit. Thus, the hour tube tapers down on the movement, meaning it is wider on the low end of it.
This makes the hour hand friction fit only. Just twist the hand and pull it until it comes off.
Second hand
The second hand pulls straight up and off if the clock has one.

Quartz clock movement installation
In essence, this is a quick step by step practical guide for the quartz clock movement installation. The first step is to get the old unit out of the way. Sometimes this is straightforward and sometimes it can be tricky.
Of course, this is done by removing the hands from the clock. Some clocks will have a glass bezel that will have to be taken off in order to get to the hands. Every clock is different so thoroughly look your clock over to see how it was put together.
Then remove the hex nut that is on the post where the hands were. In essence, the movement will fall out the back of the clock dial.
On occasion, the movement will have glue holding it in place. So, if this is the case, very gently pry the movement off of the back of the clock with a screwdriver.
Now it is out of the way and installation of the new quartz clock movement bought from Clockworks can be done.
Likewise, Quartz clock movement installation is usually very easy. Altogether, these are the assembly instructions for the time only quartz clock movement into the clock case.
Sequential order of installation
- 1. Place the steel hanger over the post with the threads (optional)
- 2. Place black rubber washer on the post next (optional)
- 3. Start mounting the movement by putting the post through the dial
- 4. Then on the front of the dial, slide the brass washer onto the post of the movement.
- 5. Put the hex nut on post and tighten so it holds the movement to the back of the clock face.
- 6. Push hour hand on the post by friction fit
- 7. Put the minute hand on the post
- 8. If using a second screw the doughnut on to hold the minute hand in place. Then install the second hand now by friction fit. The post just sticks onto the pin at the end of the post.
- 9. If not using a second hand just secure the minute hand with the pretty cap nut.
The movement installation is now complete
Naturally, this applies to all clock movements that take a battery available on Clockworks.
For example, chiming quartz, time only, and high torque. Of course, the exception to this would be clock inserts.
Quartz clock movement measuring
Please select the post length when ordering a new quartz clock movement. Of course, when doing quartz clock movement measuring, remember the post will need to be able to go through the thickness of the dial face.
Also remember that the dial may or may not have a wood backing to it. With a wood backing the clock dial or face would be thicker and thus would need a longer post.
Clockworks offers multiple post lengths on quartz clock movements for this reason. In other words, the post has to be long enough to go through whatever thickness we are calling the dial.
What to measure
Clockworks offers multiple post lengths for quartz movements. When completing a quartz clock movement measurement, you will need to measure the post on the old movement.
This is so it can match up with the new quartz movement. To clarify, the post is the part that goes through the dial (face) and mounts from the front and what is in a quartz clock movement measurement.
This applies to all Clockworks quartz movements, including chiming quartz, and time only quartz movements.
Length depends on dial thickness
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. The length of the threaded portion of the post/shaft, is the measurement that you need.
The shaft with the threads needs to go through the dial/face of the clock from the back to the front. It needs to be long enough for a small hex nut to screw onto it. It can’t be too long or the hands will not move correctly.
Clockworks 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.
Measuring quartz post lengths
Above all, when replacing a quartz movement it means measuring quartz post lengths. Subsequently, the post will stick out through the front of the clock dial.
Of course, there needs to be enough threads sticking out for the hex nut to be put on. Hence, the movement will be held in place to the back of the dial (clock face) and will not move. Sometimes if the clock has glass over the face it is possible for the post to hit it.
Therefore it is important to measure the quartz post length correctly. In other words, if the post hits the glass, the hands will not be able to move. Thus making the clock not work.
Use the chart if building a clock
With that being said, find the correct quartz post length by using the chart below. So remember, the threads on the post need to be at least 2/16 longer than the thickness of the clock dial.
To clarify, a clock dial is the face (also known as the thing with the numbers on it). As always, email us if there is any question.
Measuring quartz post lengths if replacing a clock
If replacing a movement and not building a clock, it is easier to measure the quartz post length of the old movement.
Before measuring, remove the movement first by taking off the hands and then the hex nut. Next, measure the length of the post that has the threads that the hex nut was on.
In short, only measure the fat part of the hand shaft that we call a post. Also, never include the part that the hands go on when measuring the post length. All in all, the new unit needs to be the same post length as the old movement.
Overall, this applies to all quartz clock movements available on Clockworks such as chiming quartz and time only quartz.

Quartz-Battery Clock Movement Definitions
Of course, can easily replace a movement by familiarizing with these simple terms and words. These Quartz clock movement definitions are the most common phrases and meanings related to the The clock face that the battery movement post will go through is a dial. This is the face of the clock with the numbers on it. Dials are available in two styles, Arabic (regular) numbers, or Roman (XII for 12) numbers. Dials also come in many shapes and sizes. Larger dials may require a High Torque clock movement instead of a Low Torque unit. A High Torque unit is mandatory when the dial is over 10 inches wide. This is measurement is from outside the 9 directly across the face to outside the numeral 3. This is the time track diameter. The post is the part that has the threads that mount the movement to the back of the dial with a hex nut on the front. They all come 5/16 wide, except for the QU22 unit. The QU22 has a 7/16 wide post, unlike the rest of the quartz units. The lengths are variable and are chosen upon ordering the clock movement. A six sided nut, this is the nut that attaches to the post threads that go through the dial from the back to the front. It secures the movement to the back of the clock dial. This should be tightened enough so the movement will not turn if the clock case gets moved.Dial =
Post =
Hex Nut =

Hanger =
Included, but optional in use, is the steel part that allows the clock to hang on the wall. This slips over the post with the threads before the movement mounts to the back of the dial. Therefore would have the hanger at the top of the movement and will allow it to be hung on the wall. Usually made of steel, they are sometimes aluminum. All of the time only quartz clock movements will come with this hanger, but not all of the pendulum units.

Quartz Clock Movement Definitions - Hands
Sometimes called pointers, needles, arms or hands, these are the things that point to the time. In short, the hour and minute indicators that tell what time it is. Therefore, to order the clock hands, measure the length of the minute hand. Measure from the center of the mounting hole to the end of the minute hand. Similarly, the hour hand is proportionally smaller and comes with the minute hand as a set. Moreover, the minute hands we sell for the quartz units have an oblong mounting hole and the hour hand has a round hole. This is known as the American standard "I" shaft style. Comparatively, China uses a different style. Their style has a round mounting hole in both the hour and the minute hand. All of our American style quartz clock hands fit all the quartz clock movements we sell. They are the standard "I" shaft as described.

Quartz Clock Movement Definitions - Second Hands
The optional skinny pointer that ticks out the seconds. The mount on the quartz second hands are just a press and friction fit. There is a post that sticks out of the backside to mount it. This tube fits over a pin that is inside of the quartz clock movement hand shaft post. Thus, the second hand post fits down into the end of the hand shaft and mounts via friction fit. There are two styles of time only quartz clock movements, step motion and continuous sweep motion. So the step unit will run this second hand in a jumpy one second interval. Then the continuous sweep movement runs the second hand in a fine, constant scrolling sweep motion around the dial instead.

Quartz Clock Movements Battery Operated
To replace a AA battery quartz clock movement it is required to measure the post on the old movement. This is the wider threaded portion that mounts the movement by means of a hex nut. Under the clock hands on the unit to be replaced one can see the movement is mounted with this 6 sided nut. The threads this nut is screwed to is the part to be measured only. Movement comes with a steel hanger for wall mounting. Also includes the hardware for mounting the movement to the dial, and to mount the hands.Quartz Movement Measurements
The diameter of the threads on the post are 5/16 inch wide. The length of this post is variable and selected on the drop down menu. The unit itself has a case dimension of 2 1/8 x 2 1/8 x 1/2 inches.About Quartz Clock Hands
This is a stronger than average clock movement with the ability to run hands up to 9 inches in length. (sold separately) The hands for these movements are not included and are sold separately. They are offered here on this page, please note the old hands may not fit.

I have a battery operated pendulum clock ceramic that stopped working. Switched battery but still not working. What could I try to do?
Many people request a quartz movement that they want to replace and give the numbers off of the movement wanting to match it up with the exact same unit. This unfortunately is not how replacing a quartz movement goes, unless you are replacing a Hermle chiming movement. You can tell if your clock is a Hermle chiming movement because it will take two C cell batteries and it will have the numbers similar to 2215 or 2114. So if the clock is not made by Hermle and you still want to replace it then you would need to match the movement up by what functions the clock has instead of going by the numbers. There are so many different manufacturers of quartz movements and there are so many made, it is impossible for us to have a reference of them all.

Hi, I have a clock where I need to replace the movement – as far as I can tell it is a Sheng-Bang HD1688SD – your typical cheap Chinese clock movement. The key point is that this movement had an audible “tick” when the second hand moved, and I want to replace it with a movement that ticks. Do you have any recommendations?

How can I correct my Seiko Chiming Clock to chime on the hour? It is chiming the correct hour, but always one minute after the hour.
Make it strike the hour
Take off the hands
Put the hands back on to the time where the clock striked
Set to time with the minute hand.
IF the minute hand is not exactly on the hour, when it strikes the hour, do this
There is a circle hand setting knob on the back of the movement. Hold this still with your fingers as you turn the minute
hand to where the clock just chimed. Let go. Set to time.

I have a movement that has no threads. Everything was press on. The whole stem is about 1/4 inch long and it needs a sweep second hand. I believe I need a 3/16 movement but when I tried to order through another company, I got a movement that had a 5/16 stem that was too long. Their directions said to measure the threaded part of the stem and that did not work. Do you have any suggestions. None of the instructions talk about a non-threaded stem.

Second hand stopped on 10 inch diameter quartz wall clock at 20 minutes before the hour. Figured battery was weak so replaced with new. Clock ran for a couple hours with same result; second hand stopping at 20 minutes before hour. Tried another new battery and measured 1.5 volts at terminals with clock running. Clock stopped again and hands are not hitting each other. Installed a new quartz movement and new battery. I’m experiencing the same result. Clock has run fine for many years. Your recommendation ??
There is nothing special about 20 min to the hour. Please check that hour hand to be sure its not rubbing the dial, the hands are not rubbing each other, the minute hand is not rubbing the glass on the viewing glass

Many people request a quartz movement that they want to replace and give the numbers off of the movement wanting to match it up with the exact same unit. This unfortunately is not how replacing a quartz movement goes, unless you are replacing a Hermle chiming movement. You can tell if your clock is a Hermle chiming movement because it will take two C cell batteries and it will have the numbers similar to 2215 or 2114. So if the clock is not made by Hermle and you still want to replace it then you would need to match the movement up by what functions the clock has instead of going by the numbers. There are so many different manufacturers of quartz movements and there are so many made, it is impossible for us to have a reference of them all.

I have a 6168 Sangtai AA battery with 4inch face. Hands 1 and 3/8 and 1 and 1.8 Quartz.
need to replace that movement.
Sorry do not have that one. Nothing close

I have a DM-2001 clock movement. It does not have the threaded stem that you show on the pictures of the models that you sell. Do you offer any movements withoug a threaded stem? Thanks!
Do not have that style.

My clock has a Tekken 8828-x3 clock movement. Do you carry a replacement for this?
What’s the difference between your M2 and M2-B movements? Looks like the former can power hands up to 12″ long while the latter can only power hands up to 9″ long.
Also, are these step motion or continuous sweep? It’s unclear in the page details above.
Continuous sweep and High torque. For over 8 inches it is really best to get the super torque unit at this link

Hi, I have ordered from you before but it’s been a while so want to make sure I’m ordering the right piece. I have a time only wooden clock, 16″ diameter, two hands only. Minute hand is about 6 3/4-7″ length. I have the spade hands from your store but I’m going to get new ones. I’m ordering the Quartz battery clock movement for 3/16″ post. Does that sound correct? Thank you!
For the strongest unit is this super torque unit
https://www.clockworks.com/product/c-cell-super-torque-clock-movement
The 5/16 is fine
Or get the smaller clock movement this link
https://www.clockworks.com/product/quartz-battery-clock-movement
Either one will work with the same hands

For a pendulum unit see this link

Chiming units like these

Will not work because the hands needed are too long
James
Material for s 1” thick
Clock will have a diameter of
approx. 24”
no ticking with battery preferred.
modern straight hands (black)
What do I need my friends. I’ve never built a clock before, but it sounds fun.
Greg Clinage
That 1 inch thick material will be too long. Must be less than 5/8 thick
James
Which of these movements will replace the ST 1600 movement? I do not have the original movement and the current quartz is not the correct one.
Hi,
That one is obsolete and not available new. There is no replacement.
James
I would like to mount a clock on a door that I have refinished but the battery mechanism needs to be external and I need to make the clock about 16 in
Hi,
A 16inch wide clock would take about a 8 inch minute hand length from the center of the mounting hole to the end. This is best with a strong mini movement such as this one
https://www.clockworks.com/product/quartz-battery-clock-movement
OR the high torque strong C cell version from this link
https://www.clockworks.com/product/c-cell-super-torque-clock-movement
And the hands of your choice in the size needed

FYI, today 8/2/2021 I returned all of my order for exchange
. I returned the hands because I did not know if they would fit the new motor ex. possible different dimensions re: hole in hands.
Please send back with a note and we will do what that note says. Please
James
I have a Wild Wings(Wild Gain BM 2328 quartz movement) I need to replace? What do I need that will work with existing minute and hour existing clock hands?
It depends on the hand style. If the minute hand has an oblong hole its usually a fit. Best to get new hands with the new movement when in doubt
James
Looking to replace the quartz battery (one AA) movement on a Howard Miller wall clock, model 622 845 (wedding gift 1984). The defunct movement is stamped 0100 84E and includes the loop that allows the clock to hang on the nail or hook in the wall. The Howard Miller parts site no longer carries this movement.

Thank you, James. I ordered, have received and am now attempting to replace the quartz movement in my Howard Miller wall clock. Is there a special tool to remove the ‘nut?’ that holds the original hour & minute hands to the center post? I’m having difficulty removing the original hands and, therefore, cannot replace the movement.
Removal is reverse of this (usually) =
Quartz Movement Assembly
These are the assembly instructions for the time only quartz clock movement into the clock case. Read More »
Place hanger on post (optional)
Place black washer on post (optional)
Put post through the clock dial face
Slide the brass washer onto the post of the movement that is sticking out of the clock dial face
Put hex nut on post and tighten to hold movement to the back of the clock face – you may use needle nose pliers to get a tighter fit, however do not crank it down so tight that it ruins the clock face.
Push hour hand on the post (smaller of the 2 hands with round hole). This is a friction fit and should be pushed all the way down on the post without it touching the clock face.
Put the minute hand on the post
If using a second hand, skip to step 9. If you are not using a second hand, screw the cap nut on. You are done.
If using a second hand, screw the small donut on top of minute hand and then push the second hand onto the pin in the center of the unit. You are done installing you’re brand new quartz clock movement !
did I press the hour and minute hand on too tightly as neither of these move to keep time?
Could be yes, if the hour hand is on with monster truck force it can squeeze the tube to the point of binding
