Hechinger clock movements in US?

Answer 1

I can't find a US site but if your'e really detirmined there's a UK site called Time Tips http://clock_doc.tripod.com/id98html that sells Hechinger world wide; he has prices including US delivery. He says they are now making their movements in China . From what I can see the quartz movements don't look any different than the the ones available all over the place in the US. The international standard seems to be 1 13/16 square by 5/8 deep with a 5/16 shaft which is available in a range of lengths to a accomodate different face thicknesses. His dimensions are metric but are the same. Try Klockit. They have US made, Seiko, high torque for very large hands, continuous sweep second hand models and a big selection of hands. Be careful : hand mounts are not standard . It's probably safer to get the hands the supplier sells with the movement . Good luck .
