  Clock Mechanisms

  Posted by Martin Kennedy on 4 April 2007 at 21:36

  Hi All

  I’m looking for a supplier of clock mechanisms + hands for a project we’re working on. These are usually black, about 60mm sq. and take 1 x AA size battery.

  I’m told they are available for a couple of quid each, but can’t find a supplier that will sell less than 1000 for that price each.

  Any ideas?

  Cheers

  Martin

  Hi All,
  Stumbled on this site through google after looking at Phills tutorial on clock making. Excellent idea.

  Prices vary but if you only want 100 clock movements I think its £75.00
  Inc.

  Cheers John
