UTS Quartz Clock Movements

This range of UTS quartz movements is carefully selected for customers converting clocks from traditional mechanical wind-up to modern quartz operation. These are the exact same movements used when converting clocks for customers and for resale, chosen for their consistent performance, accuracy, and durability. Each movement comes with:

• 1 × clock movement
• 1 × rubber spacer (1mm)
• 1 × dial screw
• 1 × minute hand nut (EF only)
• Extra 1mm spacers available here

NOTE – If you are converting a clockwork clock to quartz and want to use the original hands (as I always do), you will need to either: 1) adapt the existing hands to fit the Euro Fit shaft of this movement (as I do when customers send me their clocks for conversion), or 2) send me your existing hands and I will professionally adapt them to fit the Euro Fit shaft. The cost of this hand adaptation service is £35, including return delivery.

UTS movements are widely regarded as one of the most reliable quartz options available, making them particularly well suited to heritage clocks, upcycling projects, and quality domestic timepieces. When paired with correctly converted original hands, they allow a clock to retain its authentic look while benefiting from the convenience and reliability of quartz timekeeping.

All common variants are stocked, including:

• EF (Euro Fit) movements for flat-sided minute shafts
• Minute: 3.8 × 2.8mm
• Hour: 5.0mm
• NEF (Non-Euro Fit) movements for round shaft hands
• Minute: 3.50mm
• Hour: 5.00mm
• Multiple shaft lengths to suit different dial thicknesses

These movements feature a standard step-seconds motion, strong torque suitable for original metal hands, and dependable long-term operation. They are supplied as standalone movements, allowing customers to select the correct hand fittings and shaft length for their specific clock.

This range is intended for DIY customers and restorers who want to carry out their own conversions using proven, professional-grade components — not low-cost hobby movements. When installed correctly, UTS quartz movements offer a clean, discreet upgrade that respects the clock’s original design while delivering modern accuracy and reliability.
