Clock Movement Source

[Heli_av8tor]

Some time ago a forum member offered quality clock movements for sale. 

Now that I'm looking to scroll a couple projects needing a clock I'm wondering who it was and if still available.

I have inserts but only the one size and style.. Don't offer the movements just yet.. I only offer the styles and sizes I use because I buy them in bulk.. IF enough interest was drummed up on other styles and sizes etc.. I'd consider offering more.. but I haven't pushed for clock sales so interest is minimal, LOL  I've sold maybe 50 clocks to members here and other places.. many times I don't have what someone is looking for.. 

If you're looking for just movements with hands.. I'd buy from woodworkingparts.com.. They sell a USA made movement and last time I checked they was cheaper than anyone else was too..

My clocks that I offer is just this one clock at the moment.. They are a all metal clock bezel with a rubber compression ring to install them.. I also do have a few plastic cased ones that look the same but have not put them on the website.. as I don't too much care for the plastic.. Here is the link.. https://www.kevskrafts.com/listing/686474784/quartz-36mm-clock-insert-fitup-gold

To offer another source, Klockit.com sells clock movements and parts.  I have put their stuff into two of my clocks and will do so again for the face I made once I return from my business trip next week

Klockit is a good source for clocks and parts.. as is clockparts.com.. and many others such as bearwoods.. etc etc.. there is a long list of clock suppliers out there.. I've bought clocks from most any place I could find and guess what they all have in common? They are the same brand of clocks made by a company in China whom I get my clocks from factory direct.. The only difference is the price from these sellers.. I'm speaking of the clock inserts.. The other thing about all the suppliers is they get the "Cheap" plastic clock cases.. that have the plastic mounting tabs.. Over time those tabs get brittle and weak.. before you know it a tab or two breaks off and you no longer can use the clock as it won't stay mounted in.. I get the high end all metal case.. that has the rubber gasket mount.. They have the seiko PC-21 motor not the cheaper china made motor.. 

BUT as I said.. I can't afford to buy all the available styles of inserts so if someone is looking for a special style or color other than the one I use.. then you're stuck with ordering from elsewhere and getting the cheap plastic clock.. unless you'd like 500 of them, LOL

If you go the movement ( motor with hands ) then the USA made ones are the only way to go and that I'm aware of on those.. they're only available from clockparts site or woodworkingparts site.. 3-4 years ago when I did an extensive research on clocks this was my finding.. That could have changed by now I don't know.. I found my source for what I use and buy bulk direct from the factory..

The last that I bought came from Hobby Lobby. They offer about a dozen different versions.
