Post subject: how to construct a wall clock woithout a face
I'm a fist timer to your website and trying to build a large wall clock without a face or digits (sort of like some of the Movado watches). I simply want Hands and the Movement but in reading through the website it looks a bit more complicated.
I've decided on the:
High Torque Quartz Movement (12 hr, short shaft #101114)
17 1/2" Hour & Minute Hands - Stk# 66764
Red Sweep Second Hand GPA 3"
Heavy Duty Hanger
Rubber spacer /washer
5 pack hardware parts
What else do I need? Do I need to cover the Movement with something? Thanks so much for your help.

you could just hang the movement on the wall by the hanger. maybe the dial could be a circular piece of plexiglass.

Clock hubs are a nice accent. Try searching Klockit for the following stock numbers: #35933, #35944, #35945. Otherwise, you could just hang the movement itself on the wall. Note that hardware is already included with the movement (so you should not require the 5-pack hardware parts). If you should opt to go with the clock hub, you should not require the heavy duty hanger (clock the hubs have a pre-machined hanger slot on the backside).

That's it! Thanks Chris. I'll add the Circle Wooden clock Hub from Klockit, as looking at just the movement itself is not too attractive. Also I'll delete the heavy duty hanger and the 5 pack hardware parts. Do I still need to order the rubber spacer/washer or is that included somewhere?
And thanks too amrad

You will get one rubber washer with your movement hardware, so the additional spacers should not be required. Also - - Additional washers would not be required with the circular clock hub.
