Replacement in Hardware

This item was purchased to replace an existing mechanism. Fit like original. The quality and construction seem fair at least. Very easy to assemble. Has been working for two weeks with no problems.

Pros
  • New
Cons
  • Crumpled Packaging

It's so quiet here! good for clockwork

I bought this clock to replace one that has stopped working in my kitchen clock. It was very easy to install and works great. The mechanism is so quiet that I will be buying more to replace the ones upstairs in the bathrooms which are very noisy!

Pros
  • Solid construction
Cons
  • Mostly fine but...

Just what I needed for the movement

The movement was quiet as it was very important to me. I replaced the mechanism in the clock that ticked every second. Very noisy when falling asleep. This one did it. The time seems accurate and runs smoothly.

Pros
  • Great for a small house
Cons
  • Exterior

Really quiet movements

I used to buy silent click parts just to hear the second hand click-click-click. This one is REALLY QUIET! The second hand moves continuously so there is no audible click. Finally one that can be put in the bedroom without waking me up.

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • Updates available

Works best in watch movements

love that it exists. Replaced the noisy clockwork with this one and it works fine. Swapping one for the other wasn't easy as everything had to be lined up precisely. 2 attempts made. It would probably be pretty easy to use if building a clock from scratch.

Pros
  • Top marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • The list will go on.

I liked the quality

I liked the quality but realized I ordered the wrong size for my needs. I found it was not entirely clear what the different shaft lengths were. I ordered to shorten the length of the shaft. big move; Just pay attention to how long the shaft is needed.

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • No

Out of the box defective

Replacing the mechanism in an existing wall clock. Installed according to the instructions on the dial, the arrows are parallel, the battery is fresh. The second hand moves, but the hour and minute hands do nothing. To be on the safe side, let the clock run for 5 minutes. No refund possible without returning the original device - not worth the postage and my time. Be careful, future buyers.

Pros
  • Excellent construction
Cons
  • OK

Better than my previous movement

This watch matches my favorite watch I have owned for years but the movement no longer works and it didn't even have a second hand like this new mechanism. It took me several attempts to set the hour, minute and second hands but I finally figured it out. I also can't believe how smoothly the second hand works. I love it!

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • Big and bulky

Fragile, but the second works fine.

Had trouble pushing the hands into position without damaging the mechanism with both the original and replacement units. The first makes a piercing sound, possibly due to the tip of the second hand rubbing against the inside of the clear plastic cover. I disassembled it and corrected it by slightly bending the tip of the second dart, but the darts were dead on reassembly. Suspected pressure from hand reinsertion damaged the internal bearings. The replacement unit is quiet and works great. So be

Pros
  • Pretty impressive
Cons
  • Dull packaging
