Clock Movements Clock Parts Info
All clocks need some sort of power to run them. This power can come from a battery, or electricity, or a clock weight. It might even be a wind-up mainspring. Clockworks.com provides clock movements with each of these power options.
To build a clock from scratch, all of the components are needed. A movement, a clock dial (the face of the clock with the numbers), a set of Minute and Hour hands, and maybe a Second hand. A pendulum might also be needed, depending on the version of movement selected. Let’s not forget the clock case!
Most important, first choose your power source. Each style of power is completely different and will take a completely different type of movement. For example a battery powered versus a weight driven unit. Each requires a totally different mind set and approach.
Once you have chosen the power source, it is time to explore the options within that category. There maybe be options for having a pendulum or a chime. Clockworks.com will gladly help you with your project. If you have an empty clock case, just email pictures to [[email protected]](/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection) for expert recommendations.
