Quartz Pendulum Mechanical Bim Bam Movement

This is the only quartz pendulum mechanical Bim-Bam on the market today. It has the full rich sound of a traditional mechanical Bim-Bam movement with the convenience and accuracy of a modern quartz movement.

This Bim-Bam movement strikes two different copper rods on the half and the hour, with an hour count on the hour. A 16" adjustable pendulum is included, but this movement can also be operated without a pendulum. This movement will not operate a second hand.

Dimensions: 6-1/2” W x 7-1/16” H x 1-3/4” D

• Superior mechanical sound
• Adjustable pendulum included
• 1-year guarantee
• Operates with or without a pendulum
• Free choice of hour and minute hands
• Operates on 1 "D" cell (not included)

Additional setting controls have been added to the back to make set-up easier. The threaded shaft is now 1/8” longer, so the maximum dial thickness is increased to ½”. A second hand function has also been added. This is still the only D cell battery operated mechanical Bim-Bam on the market today and now it’s better than ever. It still has the full rich sound of a mechanical Bim-Bam movement, with the convenience and accuracy of a modern quartz clock movement. The best of both worlds.

This Bim-Bam movement strikes two different length copper rods on the half hour and the hour, with an hour count on the hour. A 16” adjustable pendulum with a 2-3/4” pendulum bob is included. This movement can easily be operated without a pendulum just by leaving the pendulum arm in its shipping position. The arc in which the pendulum swings is 1” back from the front of the clock movement.

The choice of 45 pairs of “I” shaft hour and minute hands in gold or black is included with the movement. There is a great variety of styles and sizes to choose from. You decide what would look best on your clock. Sizes are based on the minute hand (the longer one) length from the mounting hole to the tip.

When choosing clock hands always consider that most styles would allow you to trim them to a shorter length if needed. Wire cutters or kitchen shears will work just fine for trimming clock hands.

For Dials up to ½” thick
Threaded Shaft Length - 9/16”
Overall Shaft Length - 7/8”
Pendulum Bob Size - 2-3/4” (it’s the round disc at the bottom of the pendulum)

Westminster Pendulum Clock Mechanism Shopping Tips:

1) Choose your movement based on the thickness of the clock face/dial you are using or making. Learn how to choose the right size clock hands and clock motors.

2) Mix and Match Sizes of Pendulum Clock Movements to get a better price.

3) If you forget to add hands or the pendulum rod/bob and you'd still like the hands or rod and bob a separate shipping fee will apply.  We always recommend new hands, as older hands may not fit the American I Shaft design.
