German Press Fit Step Clock Movement Kit- Black Pointer Hands (11mm Shaft) | Fits 3.5mm & 5mm Hand Holes

A Complete Clock Repair Kit

This complete German made press fit clock repair kit includes a stepping (ticking) press fit movement, compatible press fit hands, fittings and a hanger. Shop with confidence knowing that all components of this kit will work together perfectly, taking out the hassle of trying to replace a movement whilst keeping existing hands that might not fit.

The press fit movement in this kit has a total shaft length of 11mm (measurement is from the base of the white shaft to the very point) and is compatible with clocks that have a dial thickness between 1-3mm.

Important note: We cannot guarantee compatibility between your existing hands and our movements. To avoid any issues, be sure to gather accurate hand hole measurements, and verify that they match the exact specifications outlined in this description. Please read the entire description thoroughly to ensure all measurements will work with this movement.

What Is The Difference Between A Standard Press Fit and A German Press Fit Movement?

The main difference between a standard press fit movement and a German press fit movement comes from the hand hole dimensions which have slightly different measurements. It is important to measure your existing hand hole dimensions prior to purchasing, to ensure the movement will be a suitable replacement. In addition, the finished appearance between the two movements differs slightly- a German press fit movement uses a collar to secure the movement to a clock (which requires a slightly larger dial hole and thickness), whilst a standard press fit movement instead uses a hex nut and a brass thread. Please be sure to check the diameter of your dial hole and hand hole dimensions prior to purchasing to ensure you select the most suitable movement.

The Importance Of Getting Correct Measurements

In order to find a correct replacement, you will first need to gather a few measurements and information from your current movement. A model number alone does not provide enough information to replace a movement- you will also need to determine the following:

1. Type of movement/hands you are replacing (press fit, euro shaft or high torque)

Your current minute hand will be able to easily indicate what type of movement you have. Simply examine the hole in your minute hand. 

• If it is round or has a hexagonal looking eyelet, and if the hand pushes onto the shaft then your movement is a press fit movement
• If the hole has two straight sides and a rounded top and bottom, then your movement is a euro shaft movement
• If your minute hand is over 160mm in length then we strongly recommend that you use a high torque movement

Please note, your minute hand hole should be visible. If there is anything protruding from your original minute hand then you may have removed the minute shaft with the hand by accident. To separate this shaft from the minute hand you will need to unscrew the hand nut on the front of the hand.

2. Hand Hole Dimensions (Shaft Diameter Of Hands)

As the shaft diameter for all hands varies significantly, your original hands may not be compatible with the replacement movement that you select. It is important that you measure the hand hole dimensions to confirm whether it is a match. If not, you can order replacement hands that will be compatible with your replacement movement. In addition, the total length of the hands are measured from the centre of the hole to the tip, not from end to end.

3. Total Shaft Length Of Your Current Movement

Measure the total shaft length of your old movement by measuring from the face of the movement to the very end of the shaft. This measurement is NOT just the threaded part of the shaft, it is the entire shaft. It is important to get accurate measurements especially if your clock had a lens. We also recommend measuring your dial thickness to ensure the replacement movement will be a suitable fit.
