Island Turf Crafts Quartz Clock insertion movement 65mm

Very happy with this to replace a broken one. It has a nice, clear clock face and a second hand too. It also arrived earlier than the estimated delivery time.

The clock is more flimsy than I had anticipated. This is the second replacement insert I have had in an antique style clock in 30 years. It has recesses for the springs at the positions 12, 4 and 8 on the clock face (which the original and my last replacement had), but this clock had the springs at positions 10, 2 and 6 - and so would slot in well into the clock, but obviously the face was upside down, with 6 at the top! It would have been OK if the clock face itself could have been twisted round, but it is card, stuck down and would have torn if I had tried to lift it. In the end I had to remove the springs and put an elastic band around the clock and secure it in the hole that way. The knob that you turn to alter the time came off in my hand the first time it was turned, and the rim and plastic 'glass' covering the clock face fell off as soon as I tried to slot the clock into position. So the whole clock just feels less solid than the one it replaced. But once in position, it looks good, keeps good time, and has a reassuring tick which suits an old style clock, I just would have preferred it to have been better made as it falls apart once touched. Hopefully this only needs to be twice a year when the clocks change or to replace the battery.

Brian sent a replacement immediately in post very pleased

It has brought the mantle clock back to life as I have finally find a perfectly-sized insert. tbh it may not be the best ever quality, but it looks the part and is amazing value given the high cost included for the postage. Am very, very happy. Thanks.

It's a pity the ad. doesn't give the depth dimension. It's depth is very small and the cut glass housing it fits into is twice the depth of this clock so when I put the clock in place it sank into the back, it looked awful and you couldn't read the time from a side angle. SO....I had to cut the bottom of a round clear plastic container to pack it out so that the clock face is level with the front of the cut glass housing and it now looks very good. No problem with the clock it works perfectly and looks quality

The movement in my Past Times clock packed up just after their shops went bust, so I couldn't return it. Very pleased to find this replacement. Initially, the spring clips meant it kept popping out of the hole in the clock casing, but I just removed the clips with a pair of pliers and replaced them with the rubber band from the original movement and got a perfect fit!!

Delivered promptly and securely packaged.It's fitted and working well. It does have a tendency to pop out of the clock when fitting it. We took the rubber band off the old mechanism, fitted it round this one and that holds it in place nicely.

Easy to fit in place with 3 springs. Safely packaged for transit. Lovely face although to be perfect for me, i really needed a cream coloured face (it looks too bright in my surroundings!) But couldnt find a cream one so this is the next best and it works well
