Introduction

A clock movement is composed of several gears and a power source. It is responsible for moving the clock’s hands. Over time, a clock movement may end up rusting or stopping due to an internal part failure. This can lead to an inaccurate telling of time or it stopping all together. When this happens, you can just replace the clock movement instead of having to buy another clock.
