![]() Sometimes it is very easy to get to the dial and hands. There are many clock case designs and styles so this is difficult to give an exact procedure. The posts are all 5/16 wide, and fit into a ⅜ dial hole. The post lengths available for this unit is either 5/16 long or 9/16 long. The length of the threads is what we measure to get the post length.ĭo not count the part that the hands go onto in the measurement. This is the fat part with the threads that takes the hex nut. The movement has threads on the post and comes in two lengths. The pendulum and bob are sold separately. If the pendulum is not needed lock the pendulum swinger to one side. Please note, although this is a pendulum unit, it can run with or without the pendulum. The bob is the round disk at the bottom of the pendulum rod. Similarly, the pendulum has three bob diameter options to choose from. However, it has segments at every inch, so measure what is needed, bend it and snap it off. Overall, the pendulum that is offered is 16 inches. Clockworks offers the hands for this unit below. This unit will take a second hand but it is optional. However it is best to just get the new hands with it just in case. It is possible to use a needle file to make the old hands fit the new unit. If replacing a Hermle quartz unit, new hands also need to be bought for the new unit as the old ones will no longer fit. The MSO quartz unit uses any of the low torque quartz hands that Clockworks has to offer. It will advance the strike count one hour each time the button is pressed. The strike count at the top of the hour can be set by the button on the back of the unit. Of course the sound is premium as it has a larger external speaker that mounts anywhere in the clock case with just two small wood screws. Please note that the clock chime may take an hour to correct itself, when using the hand setting knob. Additionally, it also has the ability to play the chime every quarter hour or only on the top of the hour. It is quite possible this is the only quartz movement that plays Ave Maria on the market at this point. This unit will play either Westminster or Ave Maria with premium sound quality. Another thing to keep in mind is that the clock hands are sold separately. ![]() The pendulum motion does not have anything to do with the timekeeping on this unit. It would require 4 3/4W (121mm) x 5 7/8T (133mm) x 1 1/2D (38mm) area to run right.Īlthough this is a pendulum unit it can run with or without the pendulum. The base unit is 4 5/8W (117mm) x 5 1/4T (149mm) x 1 1/4D (32mm) without the hand shaft. Additionally, there is a knob on the back to control the volume. The MSO quartz movement has step motion timekeeping accuracy and includes a time setting knob on the back of the unit which is useful if the hands are not easily accessible from the front. ![]()
