Mechanical movement replacement

Sold as only the new movement



Offering a brand new clock movement alone and does not come with the other components. The dial, weights, pendulum, chime block, hands, maybe available as a separate purchase. This high quality German movement comes oiled and includes its leader, suspension spring and hand nut.

Movement removal



Removal instructions to get the old unit out are contained in the installation instructions also. The movement swap is not difficult, changing a car tire is along the same level of intensity. After the hands and the dial are out of the way the movement will be fully exposed. The movement can come out by removing the two screws that mount it from the underside.

Instructions will cover these few things to be done, and we are here if questions come up for the operation or installation.

A new clock movement is best
