Where to get clock movments?

Jan 08, 2004 10 Replies

Hi,



I know this must be a common question, but googleing I cannot seem to find the answer. So... sorry about bothering you guys with a frequently asked question.



I am building a wall clock and would like to put a wind up mechanical movement in it. It will have about a 12" face with a pendulum about 20". So... I am looking for a place where I can buy such movements with faces and pendulums.



Suggestions please?



thanks

I normally get my supplies from Klockit:

Another place to get movements, as well as many other things (e.g., oils, decals, glass, bezels, books, etc.) for clocks is S. LaRose:

I have gotten several different types of movements as well as repair parts from them over the past 30 years.

Thank you all very much

just a fyi - always buy the movement first before starting a clock project. I hope you find one that fits!
