Our company Klockit is a family-owned business. For almost 50 years, our company has committed itself to offer you the finest quality products at competitive prices and supplying you with everything needed to build a beautiful heirloom quality clock or repair a treasured keepsake. Klockit's Q-80 Quartex brand quartz clock movement is made with an I shaft. The I shaft is the USA standard for high-quality clock movements. Inside the movement, you'll find a gear train that is encapsulated within another clear plastic case. This design keeps foreign matter out of the gears, resulting in years of trouble-free operation! Case: 56.4 x 56.4 x 15.9 mm (2.2 x 2.2 x 0.6 inch) I Shaft Diameter: The USA standard for high-quality clock movements Accurate with +/- 1 second per day Built-in wall-hanger holds up to 4 lbs Runs on one (1) AA Battery (not included) Clock Hands and Hardware: Included to assemble the clock hands to the quartz clock movement. Selecting a New or Replacement Quartz Clock Movement Length of the hand shaft on the movement The proper hand shaft length is essential to ensure sufficient clearance when going through your dial board and if you are using a glass front on your clock. Measure from the base of the movement to the tip of the hand shaft, as shown above. You must allow sufficient clearance for the hand shaft in order to attach the mounting hardware and for the hands to properly operate. Threaded Bushing Length The threaded bushing length of the hand shaft secures your clock movement to the clock face and support board. Measure the threaded bushing portion of an existing shaft, as shown above For new movements, measure the total thickness of the clock face material (clock face and support board) the shaft will have to pass through. Assembling your Quartz Movement, Dial and Hands Instructions for assembling your Quartz Movement, Dial and Hands 1. Rubber Gasket Place the rubber gasket between the clock movement & clock face. 2. Clock Face Place the brass washer between the clock face & the hex nut. Tighten the hex nut down to hold the movement firmly in position. 3. Hour and Minute Hands Temporarily place the minute hand over the "I" shaft as illustrated and rotate the minute hand clockwise until it is pointing at the "12" on the clock face. Then carefully remove it without rotating the "I" shaft. Choose any number on your clock face to align the hour hand with. Very carefully press the hour hand straight down onto the tapered, friction-fit hour shaft until the hand is firmly in place. When you have the hour hand mounted, carefully remount the minute hand at "12". 4. Second Hand or Cap Nut Tighten the open nut down to hold the hour and minute hands in position and then press the stem of the second hand down over the tiny second-hand pin shaft that protrudes up through the center of the minute hand shaft. Tighten the cap nut down to hold the hour and minute hands in position if the second hand is not going to be used. Review: Great Product - Product was as described although I ordered the item with an 11/16" overall length when I actually needed a 13/16" overall length. Assembly was fairly easy and unit functioned as described. Will get longer shaft next time and will probably order from Klockit again. Great product for replacement. Review: QUICK AND EASY FIX - PURCHASED THIS TO REPAIR A CLOCK THAT WE ALREADY HAD. VERY EASY TO INSTALL, QUICK AND SIMPLE, MADE AN OLD CLOCK USABLE AGAIN ## Features - Quartz Clock Movement Kit: This clock mechanism is perfect with its clock parts for repairing, replacing, or making your own DIY clock project. The clock movement design keeps foreign matter out of the gears, resulting in years of trouble-free operation. - Clock Movement Measurements: Total hand shaft length is 15.9 mm (5/8 inch). Total shaft diameter is 7.9 mm (5/16 inch). - Maximum Clock Dial Thickness: 4.8 mm (3/16 inch). Refers to the thickness of the combined material (clock face material and support board the dial is mounted to) that the threaded length of the movement shaft travels through. The hardware adds 1.6 mm (1/16 inch) making the total length of the threaded bushing 6.4 mm (1/4 inch). For finding a replacement, measure the threaded portion of the shaft on your old clock movement. If the length is shorter or equal to 6.4 mm (1/4 inch), this is suitable. - Clock Hands Measurements: Total black spade hour and minute hand length is approx. 63.5 mm (2 1/2 inch), total red second hand length is approx. 69.9 mm (2 3/4 inch). The Q-80 movement will have a step motion that creates a ticking sound, powered by an AA battery. - Package Contents Include: One easy to assemble quartz clock movement, one hour hand, one minute hand, one second hand, and hand mounting hardware. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B005LH6DSU | | Additional Features | Silent Clock | | Alarm Clock | No | | Batteries are Included | No | | Best Sellers Rank | #411,052 in Tools & Home Improvement ( See Top 100 in Tools & Home Improvement ) #482 in Clock Movements | | Brand | Quartex | | Brand Name | Quartex | | Clock Form | Twin Bell | | Color | Black | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 397 Reviews | | Dial Color | Black | | Display Type | Analog | | Indoor Outdoor Usage | Indoor | | Item Dimensions W x H | 2.2"W x 2.2"H | | Item Weight | 1.44 ounces | | Manufacturer Part Number | 10002 | | Model Number | 10002 | | Number of Batteries | 1 AA batteries required. | | Number of Items | 1 | | Operation Mode | Electrical | | Power Source | Battery Powered | | Product Dimensions | 2.2"W x 2.2"H | | Special Feature | Silent Clock | | Style | Modern | | Style Name | Modern | | Theme | Plain | | UPC | 798837450470 617724468155 | | Warranty Type | Limited | | Watch Movement | Quartz | ## Product Details - **Are Batteries Included:** No - **Brand:** Quartex - **Color:** Black - **Display Type:** Analog - **Indoor/Outdoor Usage:** Indoor - **Power Source:** Battery Powered - **Product Dimensions:** 2.2"W x 2.2"H - **Special Feature:** Silent Clock - **Style:** Modern - **Theme:** Plain ## Images ![Quartex Q-80 Quartz Clock Movement, 1/4” Maximum Dial Thickness, 11/16" Hand Shaft Length - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61ieUxo2wkL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Is quartex a company? or just a brand owned by someone else? who owns quartex?** A: It’s a cheap clock. I doubt it’s fancy enough to be a manufacturer brand. You can probably buy a dozen of the same unit with different names. It’s not like it’s a Seiko or Rolex **Q: What is the meaning of dial theckess?** A: It is the actual thickness of the dial (the thing with the numbers 1-12 on it). If your dial is wood it may be thick and need a clock that has a high dial thickness, if it is like cardboard it would use a thinner dial thickness. **Q: How does the minute hand attach? My unit has a minute hand that has a narrow rectangular opening that doesn’t fit any portion of shaft?** A: The specific model number I bought has a rounded-corner, rectangular shaft for the minute hand. It protrudes out from the hour hand spindle. When the unit is shipped, it has the little knurled brass retaining ring that secures the minute hand installed that you have to carefully unscrew and remove first, then you should see the rectangular minute hand shaft. Press on your minute hand and reinstall the little brass ring. Then press the second hand into the spindle. **Q: what are the physical dimensions of the unit please? Seems like such an obvious question that it would be listed.** A: The size is 2 l/4" by 2 1/4". Hope this helps. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Product *by A***S on March 15, 2022* Product was as described although I ordered the item with an 11/16" overall length when I actually needed a 13/16" overall length. Assembly was fairly easy and unit functioned as described. Will get longer shaft next time and will probably order from Klockit again. Great product for replacement. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ QUICK AND EASY FIX *by J***K on January 22, 2024* PURCHASED THIS TO REPAIR A CLOCK THAT WE ALREADY HAD. VERY EASY TO INSTALL, QUICK AND SIMPLE, MADE AN OLD CLOCK USABLE AGAIN ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Easy installation. Keeps time. A bargain. *by D***R on December 22, 2024* The previous works in my special clock died after nearly 20 years of service. I replaced it with an almost identical Quartex movement. Easy job. The instructions are simple and CLEAR--in good English (how refreshing!) The ticking sound of the second hand isn't as loud, which is good... although I used the louder ticking of the previous works to time certain exercises. But if you're trying to sleep, this will be a relief. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.om/products/11534348-quartex-q-80-quartz-clock-movement-1-4-maximum-dial](https://www.desertcart.com.om/products/11534348-quartex-q-80-quartz-clock-movement-1-4-maximum-dial) --- *Product available on Desertcart Oman* *Store origin: OM* *Last updated: 2026-07-06*
