DESCRIPTION

• Also suitable as replacement parts for other clocks
• Include mechanism case, hanger, rubber washer, brass washer, hex nut, and hands
• Reverse side of the aluminium hands in silver colour
• Second hand with push-on cap to secure all hands to the movement
• Supplied disassembled. Easy installation, no tools required
• Batteries are not included with the mechanisms. Purchase them in Related Products

THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND

• The hands of mechanisms Ref. 042226 and Ref. 042228 have special shapes. The rest of the mechanisms have straight hands
• Mechanisms Ref. 042231 and Ref. 037828 have a white second hand
• The mechanism with gear-shaped hands does not include a second hand (Ref. 042228)
• The rear nut of mechanisms with integrated hanger may be black or red
• The hanger of the mechanisms is attached to the case, except for mechanisms Ref. 042231, Ref. 037828, Ref. 042226, and Ref. 042232
• To prevent the mechanism’s spindle from protruding at the front of the panel, we suggest adding extra washers to the spindle before installing it on the panel (see Related Products)

HOW TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT MECHANISM WITH HANDS?

• Calculate the maximum DIAMETER of the circle that fits on your clock panel (for round panels this is straightforward, but for other shapes you may need to measure). Ensure the mechanism diameters are not larger. Choose the tab that suits you best
• The THICKNESS of the panel you will use is important; the first number after the "E" indicates the spindle length of the mechanism (in mm). It is recommended to be at least 1 mm longer than the panel thickness
• Consider the HOLE diameter of the panel, which must be suitable for the spindle diameter, which is the second number after the "E" (also in mm)
• Choose the MATERIAL of the hands as you prefer: aluminium, plastic, etc.
• Consider the COLOUR of the hands, thinking about the background image you will print on the panel, so that the hands contrast and are clearly visible

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS OF THE MECHANISMS

The reference name includes the following data:

^(*) The minute hand is measured by the circular path it travels and by its width.

OTHER MECHANISM SIZES

^(**) The length of the hands is measured from the centre of the hole to the tip.
