TIKROUND Youngtown 12888 High-Torque Long-Shaft Clock Movement with 12-Inch Gold Spade Hands

Overview

Enhance large clocks with the TIKROUND Youngtown 12888 high-torque movement. This robust mechanism is designed to drive long hands on bold dials, delivering confident, steady timekeeping for DIY projects or clock repairs. The kit includes a pair of 12-inch gold spade hands and a durable movement body, making it a practical choice for replacing old mechanisms or launching a statement clock from scratch.

The gold-tone finish on the hands and movement adds a refined touch that complements both classic and modern dials. Built from a combination of plastic and aluminum, the assembly balances light weight with durability, which helps maintain smooth operation in typical indoor environments. The long shaft and integrated mounting features support a wide range of clock designs, including deeper panels.

Key specifications to consider when planning a repair or build: the case is compact, about 56 × 56 × 16 mm, while the hands reach generous lengths to create a bold presence on your wall. From center to tip, the hour hand runs around 203 mm (8.0 in) and the minute hand about 305 mm (12 in); overall hand lengths are approximately 216 mm (8.5 in) and 385 mm (15.2 in) respectively. The movement uses a step (one-second) motion for the display and requires a single 1.5V AA battery, which is not included.

Important note: this clock mechanism cannot install a second hand. If your design calls for a second hand, this model will not support that feature.
