Clock Movement Motors

We offer a wide selection of MVTs or motors that drive the time, calendar hands, pendulums, Chimes etc… Within each particular classification, there are factors that need to be considered in order to have a successful repair or create the perfect time piece.

Clock Hands

There are two main criteria need to be considered. One is the length of the hand shaft that drives them and the length of the hands themselves. Of course the style of hands will enhance the overall appearance of the clock face; nevertheless, we need to get the dimensions correct in order to achieve an accurate and reliable time piece.

Clock Dials

Your clock dial or clock face is what stands front and center and can be the most unique part of your time piece. You cannot read the time without it. The clock dial face can be made of anything your heart desires. Any object can represent a number. One word of caution is to make sure the MVT shaft is long enough so the minute hand can clear the thickness of the clock dial and any objects attached to it.
