Westminster Pendulum Quartz Clock Motors for Clock Faces up to 5/8" thick

Full-sized quartz movements with built in speaker plays a portion of the traditional Westminster Chimes melody of a grandfather clock every quarter hour, as well as counting out the hours on the hour along with the full Westminster Chimes melody.  These are very popular movements, and they are very easy to use.  Many people choose these to make new chiming clocks or to repair and replace old clocks.

Pendulum and Chime Clock Mechanisms Features:

  • Pendulum + Chime Movements Case Size 3 inches wide x 4-3/4 inches high x 1-1/4 inches deep.
  • Chime Synchronization Knob
  • Built in Speaker, Full Westminster Chiming Functions
  • 1 year Warranty
  • Runs a Step Second Hand (optional)
  • Powered by C Battery (Not Included)
  • Mounting hardware (brass washer, hex nut, and open end nut) included. Hangers sold separately.

Westminster Pendulum Clock Mechanism Shopping Tips:

1) Choose your movement based on the thickness of the clock face/dial you are using or making. Learn how to choose the right size clock hands and clock motors.

2) Mix and Match Sizes of Pendulum Clock Movements to get a better price.

3) If you forget to add hands or the pendulum rod/bob and you'd still like the hands or rod and bob a separate shipping fee will apply.  We always recommend new hands, as older hands may not fit the American I Shaft design.

    Clock Movements 09/24/2012

    We are very satisfied with this purchase. Our old school clock fell off the wall during some remodeling and the movement was damaged. We were very happy to find your store and the movement that we purchased really made the clock better than it was new. Now we have chimes on the quarter hours and my wife really loves it. It is hanging up now on more suitable hangers. If we decide to remodel any other clocks we will be sure to come to you again. Very fast service and everything was as stated on the web site.

    clock assembly 12/11/2018
    By Joseph Paulhamus
    not sure how to move the pendulum mechanism. doesn't seem to want to move. it will not swing the new pendulum i purchased. had to use my old one. it swings in the vertical middle of the reveal glass. the edge of the existing 2 3/4" bob just disappears in the window. other than wasting $5.00 on the new pendulum, I'm happy. if i drill some holes in the back plate and space the back of the clock from the wall. will the chime be louder ? I think so. I'll try it anyway. Thanks

    Tips

    Learn how to set your Westminster Chime Clock Motor

    Install a FRESH Duracell or Energizer Battery (But not a rechargeable type).  In our experience, these are the only batteries that are reliable for clock mechanisms.

    Choose hands - the options here will fit your clock motor. We recommend our new, balanced hands.
