Frequently Asked Questions
Clear answers to common questions before you order or install.
Compatibility & Fit
Q: How do I know if this movement will fit my clock?
A: Our movements are designed to replace the Hermle style 2114 or 2115, along with the 2214 or 2215 style battery clock movements. Keininger made the same style movement and will also fit. Make sure you check the following, prior to ordering one of our movements:
- You have room to mount one of our new movements
- You measured the hand shaft length
Measuring & Hand Shaft Length
Measurement (Critical)
Q: How do I measure the hand shaft correctly?
A: Measure the thickness of your clock dial from front to back. The hand shaft must extend slightly beyond the dial to allow the hands and nut to install properly.
👉 Use our Hand Shaft Measurement Guide before purchasing.
