Clock movements

[Helen Roche]

Does anyone know a good source, possibly wholesale, for clock movements & hands? Preferably the quartz silent type. I don't see them on Ebay for much under £2.50. Whereas I can buy a whole clock in Ikea for £1.75, use the movement and hands, and throw the rest of the clock away, but that seems very wasteful!

I've bought them from here in the past: https://www.clockparts.co.uk/clock-movements.htm 

Less than £1 each if you buy them in quantity. They have a good range including the sweep and supersweep type and they also do high torque ones for really big clocks.

Thanks Andy, that looks perfect!

You could donate (or try and sell)/recycle  the rest of the Ikea clock to Rlab members?

Kind regards

Hello Hellen,

As well as Andy's excelent suggestion.

I have also found that Cousins do a good range of quartz clock movements at various prices. They have a massive range of Horological supplies so it is worth looking at thier website.
