10 best quartz movements

Quartz movements are a type of clock movement commonly used in timekeeping devices, including wristwatches, wall clocks, and various other timepieces. They have become widespread due to their precision, reliability, and cost-effectiveness. Here's what you should know about quartz movements:

  1. Basic Principle: Quartz movements rely on the piezoelectric property of quartz crystals. When an electric current is applied to a quartz crystal, it vibrates at a precise frequency (usually 32,768 Hz). This vibration is extremely stable and serves as the basis for timekeeping.

  2. Regulation: The oscillations of the quartz crystal are divided down to create regular electrical pulses. These pulses are used to regulate the movement of the clock's hands. The accuracy of a quartz movement is primarily determined by the precision of the quartz crystal and the electronics used to count the pulses.

  3. Accuracy: Quartz movements are known for their exceptional accuracy. They can keep time to within a few seconds per month, making them more accurate than mechanical movements, which may lose or gain several seconds a day.

  4. Battery-Powered: Most quartz movements are powered by batteries, typically small button-cell batteries.These batteries provide a steady source of electrical energy to keep the quartz crystal oscillating and the clock running accurately.

  5. Low Maintenance: Quartz movements require minimal maintenance. The most common maintenance task is replacing the battery when it runs out. Unlike mechanical movements, they do not need regular winding or servicing.

  6. Affordability: Quartz movements are cost-effective to manufacture, which makes quartz watches and clocks more affordable than their mechanical counterparts. This affordability has contributed to their widespread use.

  7. Quartz Watches: Quartz movements revolutionized the watch industry. Quartz watches, which use quartz movements, were introduced in the 1960s and quickly became popular due to their precision and affordability. They are now the most common type of wristwatch.

  8. Digital Displays: Quartz movements are often used in digital clocks and watches, where the time is displayed numerically rather than with traditional clock hands. This is made possible by converting the quartz crystal's oscillations into a digital time format.

  9. Silent Operation: Quartz movements are nearly silent compared to the ticking sound associated with mechanical movements. This makes them a preferred choice for quiet environments.

  10. Variety: Quartz movements are available in a wide range of sizes and styles, allowing for various clock and watch designs. They are used in both analog and digital timepieces.

  11. Shocks and Durability: While quartz movements are generally durable, they can be sensitive to severe shocks or extreme temperatures. High-quality quartz watches may include features to mitigate these effects.

In summary, quartz movements are widely used in clocks and watches due to their accuracy, reliability, low maintenance requirements, and affordability. They have played a significant role in making timekeeping accessible to a broad audience and continue to be a popular choice for timepieces in various settings.

User questions & answers

Question: I bought this but the diameter of shafts are a tiny bit too small for my existing hands...need .25" diameter...solution
Answer: I didn’t paint mine but did apply items to it that stuck just fine. The spray paint should work just fine. If you’re worried about it running or not sticking I would sand the smooth surface away and paint it after.
Question: With chime battery operated no pNdulum
Answer: I have the mailbox in stalled in use for about 4 months, and have recently noticed it drops down slightly below the 90 degree angle whe door is open. This may indicate somr weakness and issue down the road.
Question: WHat is correct replacement size quartz AA battery operated clock with 1"hourly and 5/8th minute hands which are push on shaft for 1 3/16th dial clock
Answer: So sorry for the long delay. Believe it or not, the distance between the internal embossed lines is 3.25 inches. The distance from the outer edges is 5 inches. For what it's worth I picked up a 6 inch number, drilled 2 holes and used short screws and it looks great and doesn't cut the mailpersons hands. The large box handles the bigger number well.
Question: Description states that this item does not come with the plastic washer, brass washer, and brass nut. Where can I get the ones that will fit properly
Answer: i ordered a LP000B00 Post and a wood post to support it

User questions & answers

Question: how can i pick clock movement replacement for my embroidered clock with an hour hand that is 4 1/2 inches long
Answer: Yes, but you have to cut a hole through the door/wall to install. Instructions included. Great product!
Question: I purchased the 3/4” and it is too short. Nut is not able to thread. Which one is longer
Answer: We use this for a night drop box for car keys. The slot is approximately 2 1/2 inches so if the bankers bag isn't thicker than that you should have no problems.
Question: how long are the hands
Answer: Its adjustable. Possibly 14" max. But you could cut either side and make it super short if needed.
Question: Where is this made
Answer: It is designed to keep your mail dry and has passed all USPS standards for this element. In the real world I would angle the mailbox angled slightly forward on the front so water drips off the front instead of dripping in the box. We include a plastic floor liner to keep the mail off the actual metal bottom. This aids in keeping water off the mail if water does get in the bottom of the box...this helps when conditions are sideways blowing rain.

User questions & answers

Question: What is the maximum weight the clock mounting hook can handle
Answer: We have a total of 1,500 unique keys out there for just our mailboxes. 1,000 unique keys are still in production. So the odds of somebody having your key are at least 1/1000. Additionally these are 12 disc wafer locks...good luck picking them...way too much time involved.
Question: i need clock hand that 5 inch long for the min. long dail diameter of 10 inch
Answer: If you choose to use your mailbox for outgoing mail there is a spring steel clip inside the top door to hold the mail for the mail person. Pulling up the mail flag indicates to the mail person that you have outgoing mail. But please keep in mind that this flag also indicates to mail thieves you have outgoing mail as well. We recommend not doing this and dropping your outgoing mail in a USPS blue box because there is no way to have secure outgoing mail in an individual locking box that also accepts incoming mail.
Question: For Shaft Length 5/8 in) i have a 12" x 1/4" wood round - is the threaded shaft long enough? And are these hands long enough
Answer: It comes with a drill bit and 1.5" lag bolts to mount the box to wood. It does not come with a post but if you order a Mail Boss post, the post comes with the hardware to mount the Mail Boss mailbox to the post.
Question: Can you paint the hands? Wanted the style of the red hands, but need them in brass finish
Answer: It is a dull white - it isn’t bright white. With it being dull some would probably call it off-white

Question: I cannot get the hour or minute hands on to the shaft. They are the original hands from the clock. Why not
Answer: Typically, the old washers and nut can be used. The original clock movement I had didn't use washers and nut because it snaps in place and didn't require them.
Question: My 12888 has smaller hands. Minute hand is just under 3.5 in. & hour hand is approx 2.5 in. What are shaft diameters for this movement
Answer: You would have to attach a wood base 10 7/8”W. X 22 7/8” long X 2”” thick centered on post. Then set mailbox on platform and screw it to it.
Question: I’m using a 1/2 inch board. Will this clock work. If not what model will

User questions & answers

Question: Is this clock mechanism quiet? I don’t want one that makes a tick tick sound
Answer: no chimes
Question: My clock has no outer cover. Is this mechanism okay as an outdoor pool clock
Answer: I carefully measured my original clock and compared my results with the sale item, as shown clearly on the item's info. The measurements were pretty much exactly the same. I ordered this replacement clock guts, and it fit my crystal holder perfectly. Most important is the shaft length as shown: 5/16". The only difference I had is that the hands of the new clock were too long for my little clock, so I just used the original hands, which slipped perfectly over the new shaft. Hope that helps.

User questions & answers

Question: Is this an atomic motor
Answer: Not totally sure but what I remember when putting them in would be a light gage aluminum.
Question: what are the dimensions of the outer shell
Answer: The hands with movement I received measure the following from the spindle to the tip that indicates the minute/hour: minute hand -- 5 7/8"; hour hand -- 4 5/8".
Question: what are the exact dimensions of the case itself
Answer: 2” by 2”
Question: My clock face is 5" and is made of 1/4" thick wood. Will this work for my clock
Answer: I've bought a lot of these over the years. The only real solution I can offer is always buy new hands that are made for the movement. I've tried retrofitting some of my existing hands usually with little luck.
