The best clocks are made with Mechanical Clock Movements
Why do such companies like Howard Miller, Sligh, Ridgeway and BifanoClockWorks all use Mechanical Clock Movements? Because they make the best in the world. The three leaders are Hermle, Kieninger and Urgos and all of them have been making them for a very long time. BUT EVEN BETTER Hermle and Kieninger have plants in America so we can have movements made right here in the USA.
   Here is a close up of the stamp on the back of a Hermle 451-053/114 movement. You will find this stamp on all the movements made.
   This stamp will also help you when you are looking to repair a movement. You can get the model number off it when you need it.

     Another great reason for using these is that the quality is so good. A good way to see that is in the size thickness of the plates. The image to the right has very thick plates. So What...you ask. If a movement has thin plates then it is more likely to warp and twist and that means Clock Repairs
    The gears, bushings, pinions and boring for those parts are all made with very high tolerances. So if the plates are thin and they warp and twist then these parts start to rub and wear to early.

Do you have a a treasured keepsake that was passed down from someone you love and does not work anymore?. Trying to find a movement for a clock, that does not have a name on the clock or the movement, can be easy to do. Even clocks and movements that have names on them but are not available anymore can be repaired. Follow these simple steps on how to get the correct clock movements for your clock.

Now that you have learned a lot about this you may be asking "What do these movements cost?" Well here is a place that I use to buy all of my Quality movements
