Silent Sweeping Quartz Wall Clock Movement Mechanism

Silent Sweeping Quartz Wall Clock Movement

Upgrade or repair any wall clock with this precision silent sweeping quartz clock movement. Unlike traditional ticking movements, this mechanism uses a smooth sweep second hand action — completely noiseless, making it ideal for bedrooms, offices, living rooms, or any quiet space where a ticking sound would be a distraction.

Built with a high-frequency quartz crystal oscillator (32.768KHz), this movement delivers excellent timekeeping accuracy, keeping your clock on schedule with minimal drift. The plastic housing is lightweight yet durable, and the unit is engineered for a wide operating temperature range, making it suitable for various indoor environments.

Made in Mainland China.

Why Choose a Sweeping Movement?

A sweeping quartz movement moves the second hand in a smooth, continuous glide rather than a step-by-step tick. This makes it the preferred choice for:

• Bedrooms and nurseries where quiet is essential
• Offices and study rooms requiring focused environments
• Living room feature clocks where silent operation enhances the ambiance
• DIY clock making and clock repair projects

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What battery does this silent wall clock movement require?

A: This quartz clock movement requires a single AA 1.5V battery to operate. The battery is not included with the mechanism. For best timekeeping accuracy, use a quality alkaline AA battery.

Q: Is this clock movement really silent — no ticking sound?

A: Yes! This is a sweeping (scanning) second movement, which means the second hand glides smoothly and continuously instead of stepping with each second. The result is a virtually silent operation — perfect for bedrooms, offices, and living rooms.

Q: What clock hand sizes are compatible with this movement?

A: This movement supports a second hand up to 130mm in length (max weight 2g) and a minute hand up to 160mm in length (max weight 6g). It is designed for standard analog clock hands with the appropriate shaft fitting.

Q: Can I use this movement to repair or replace an existing wall clock mechanism?

A: Absolutely. This is a universal sweeping quartz movement ideal for DIY clock repairs and replacements. It fits clock plates up to 15mm thick, making it compatible with the majority of standard wall clock frames available on the market.
