Quartz Pendulum Trigger Clock Movement Chime Westminster Melody Mechanism Clock Kit with 3 Pairs of Hands

It's what it says it is.

It seems to keep good jobBut the charm sounds pretty badThe pendulum swinging back-and-forth. Sounds like it's ticking like a old-fashioned clock.I give it 4 out of 5 star. S if the charm sounded better.

Mom has a wall clock that uses this style of mechanism . When it gave up the ghost after 30-ish years, she was unhappy to say the least. Rather than toss the whole thing, i picked up this kit and replaced the guts. Well, most of the guts, the chime in this one isn't the best, and the old one had sentimental value. Luckily, the chime is it's own box, with the wire to the clock just going to a switch, no polarity to worry about.Assembly is easy, and the hands come in a choice of "Classic" or"Modern" styles. If you're like me, and needed to retrofit into a clock with a small-ish face, the modern ones are simple enough to trim the hands with a pair of shears to shrink the length without looking funny.A good option if you need a quartz movement with both a pendulum and a chime.

I looked and looked for a movement for my Heathkit schoolhouse clock (yes, this goes back to the early 1980s, when Heathkit sold this clock). The existing movement, a replacement itself, mechanically struck the quarter, half, and hour as well as ticked off the seconds. The pendulum is about a foot long. This movement's pendulum is less than half that, and the movement itself is not strong enough to drive the longer pendulum. As well, the chime, on the hour, is weak and distorted. I guess it will have to do until something more substantial can be found. On the plus side, the clock's hands (one of two options available) are substantial and do look quite nice.Still and all, the movement is a disappointment. I would at least have hoped it was capable of moving a larger pendulum.

Chimes are dreadful. The ticking of the second hand is louder than the chimes, which only ring when the hour strikes.

Worked great

Since I needed to re-use the hr/min hands that were already on the clock (face was too small for the new hands), I did not have to use any of the 3 sets of hands! I also reused the original pendulum; although it was great to have all of those options! Installation was very easy. I elected to not use the chime, but another nice option. It's been about 3 weeks and the time is still accurate-best I could hope for! I can scratch "clock fixing " off of the bucket list now, lol!

Looses about 10 minutes in 24 hours. Did not buy for the chime so did not use.
