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.

How to measure quartz clock movement post

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.

The content of this website is copyright by Clockworks and written by James Stoudenmire in year 2022

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

Clock Dial

Dial =

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.

Quartz Clock Movement Definitions of Terms

Post =

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.

Quartz movement clock Hex Nut

Hex Nut =

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.

Quartz Clock Steel Hanger

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 Hands

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 Second hand

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

The measurement on the old post is the first requirement to replacing the AA battery quartz clock movement. To clarify, the post is the portion of the movement that has threads and mounts to the front of the dial via a hex nut. Moreover, this nut has 6 sides and is visible under the clock hands.

Obviously this is the nut that holds the movement in place on the back side of the dial. And the threads on this post that the nut screws onto is the only part that requires a measurement. Furthermore, the movement comes with a steel hanger for wall mounting. Also it includes the hardware for mounting the movement to the dial, and to mount the hands. So this is a complete kit (minus the hands).

Quartz Movement Measurements

The diameter of the threads on the post are 5/16 inch wide. And the length of this post is variable. So the selection of post lengths are in 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

Of importance is that this is a stronger than average clock movement with the ability to run hands up to 9 inches in length (sold separately). Again, the hands for these movements are sold separately. They do not come with the movement. Please note the old hands may not fit the new movement. There is a selection of hands here so take a moment to look at them. Please see the above tabs for information on measuring, replacing, and ordering a Quartz Battery Clock Movement.

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 Howard Miller Gimble Maritime clock model 645526. The movement has failed and I am unable to find a replacement that will accept the original hands. I am also not able to find new hands of the same style. Can you point me to a replacement movement that will accept these hands or a movement/hands of the same style? The problem with the fit on the hands is that they are push on with an hour hand ID of 0.2″ (5mm) and a minute hand ID of 0.11 (2.8mm). I also lost the black push on pin cap. Are those available?

I am confused !!! I am trying to replace a quartz movement…time only. I am reading your instructions on how to measure the old movement and everything makes perfect sense and the old movement measures what you state as far as length and width and thickness….all great. I see your chart stating that a 9/16″ thick dial ( mine is closer to 1/2″ but I figure it is close enough ) and your chart states I need a 11/16″ POST which is what the old movement measures..all well and good so far. Now I go to your drop down choices for the movement and there is NO 11/16″ option for POST LENGTH. Please explain what I am doing wrong.

We may be out of stock with some post sizes, in some instances.

The point is to get a post that is longer than the thickness of the clock dial so it can poke through the other side to except the mounting hex nut.

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?

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.

what is the red switch on the motor that says on or off

It is to turn the movement on or off, depending on what is desired by the end user.

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

Thanks for the feedback James. There isn’t a glass covering the front of the clock. I and another person both checked for interference between any of the hands and there is none. Guess I’ll pitch this movement and try a different one.

I purchased a QU-40 mechanism for my clock. How do you set the time so the chimes correspond to the actual time?

James Stoudenmire

HI

Make the clock chime the hour by moving the hands forward.

Take off the hands

Put the hands back on, at the point the strike dictated

Set to time


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 Howard Miller clock which I received as a award in a golf tournament in 2002. The clock is held on a swivel inside a wooden display box (model 645-443) The clock stopped working some time ago, and I wanted to find a replacement for the inner clock workings?

Hi,

I assume it would need a high torque movement and a new set of hands as your old ones will not fit. The center hole will need to be drilled to except a 3/8 post through the dial.

Hi,

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.

Looking for quartz movements for 12″-wide wood rounds that are 1/8″ thick. What size post do I need? Can I get a movement with a short post with 5″ hands? Right now, I have tiny hands that are unreadable on the large clock. Ideally, the movement will have a hanger on it also.

Need to replace the mechanism for a clock. Movement is stamped U.T.S. QUARTZ MADE IN GERMANY IEC R6+. Under the battery “ABS” is also stamped. The minute hand is 10 inches long and the hour hand is 6 inches. Just to be safe, I will order new hands, though I would like to use the old ones if possible. What would you suggest? Dimensions of the movement box are 2 1/16inches long and tall, 5/8inch wide. Please let me know if you require any additional information.

I have a clock that part of a standing slender 3 shelf and a top and bottom open/close mini cabinet. Basically a fake and small sorta grandfather’s. The top has a glue clock face running on a AA battery. I tried replacing the battery but it still doesn’t work. Next step, I want to replace the battery device and hands, plus any parts between that are essential to get this to be a functional clock and not just a skinny tall shelf.

Which item packet should I order?

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?

For the strongest unit is this super torque unit

Or get the smaller clock movement this link

Either one will work with the same hands
