# Mechanical Clock kit Movement Options


## Mechanical clock-kit movement options

The following are the various options for [Mechanical clock-kit](/mechanical-clock-kits.html) movements to utilize in building a clock.

We offer complete kits at [Clockworks](https://www.clockworks.com/), however we can't include them all as it would be overwhelming. It may be possible to alter any aspect in the clock kits that are available. Please call to let us help with kit modifications or for general assistance.

### Options for Floor Clocks

### Chime type

Either Westminster only or triple chime. Both of these [Mechanical Clock Kit](/mechanical-clock-kits.html) options play a melody every 15 minutes and require a three weight movement.

Also there is the bell strike option that will play on the top of the hour whatever hour it is, and once on the half hour.

### Pendulum

Options are the length, the bob diameter, and if would like a wood stick style [The Pendulum](/clock-parts/clock-pendulums.html) or a fancy lyre style [The Pendulum](/clock-parts/clock-pendulums.html). The wood stick style is more antique look and the lyre is the contemporary style.

### Hammer location

Either on the back for standard depth cases, or for the shallow depth we can do a side hammer unit.

### Dial

Either a phase of the moon style, or just the hump top that says [Tempus Fugit](/product/tempus-fugit-style-clock-dial). Or we can zip off any moon [Dial](/clock-parts/clock-dials.html) or TF dial to provide a very nice square metal dial with no hump on the top at all.

Another option is to use [heavy paper stock](/product/heavy-paper-stock-clock-dial) on a thin board, use spray glue to make it stay.

### Mechanical clock-kit movement options - Wall Clocks

### Chime type

Either Westminster only, Triple chime, Bim Bam, gong or bell. Lots of chime options there, but whatever wanted to listen to out of these we can do.

### Pendulum

Either the [wood stick style](/product/wood-stick-pendulum-for-hermle-clocks) or sometimes if its short enough, we can put a [brass rod pendulum](/product/hermle-brass-rod-clock-pendulum) in.

The [Mechanical Clock Kit](/mechanical-clock-kits.html) options brass rod pendulum is different than the [metal lyre pendulum](//product/hermle-lyre-pendulum) as its just a brass rod going straight down with out all the decor.

### Hammer Location

Includes the back, or on the side, or even the bottom on the wall clock kits.

### Dial

Square dial made of [heavy paper stock](/product/heavy-paper-stock-clock-dial) that uses a spray glue in order to attach it to a thin board, or a metal dial.

In Arabic or [Roman](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_numerals) numerals. The dial on a wall clock would mount to the wood trim that goes around the dial, not interlocking with the [movement](/clock-movement.html).

One style you can't get these days are the round dials that do lock into the [movement](/clock-movement.html), to have the appearance of the dial just floating in the air with the mounting hidden such as the Vienna regulator style.

### Mechanical clock-kit movement options - Mantle or Shelf Clocks

### Mechanical clock-kit movement options - Chime type

All of them really. an have Westminster, triple chime, gong, bell, or Bim Bam strike for Mechanical clock movement kit options.

### Mechanical clock-kit movement options - Pendulum

Options include metal rod to a decor for the kitchen style clocks are available, or a wood stick [pendulum](/clock-parts/clock-pendulums.html) if the clock is tall enough. For the shorter mantle units it will be just a round bob that is usually adjustable for time keeping.

### Options for the Dial

The hardest on the mantle units. To get a [the dial](/clock-parts/clock-dials.html) with [bezel](/product/clock-bezel-dial-glass-friction-fit) with glass in [convex](/product/convex-round-clock-glass) or [flat](/product/flat-round-clock-glass) is ideal, however not always possible.

If the situation calls for this type of clock dial, may want to chase a different clock design to make, it is not often it works out well unfortunately. The shelf clocks are easier as it has a door that closes with glass in the front, rather than the round brass bezel with dial and glass all in one combination.
