Hello, I am looking for a mechanical movement that has a short pendulum length, about 7" from center of the hands to the center of the pendulum. Does anyone have a suggestion?. Thanks

Klockit #13095 - It has an 8" length pendulum (from the center of the hand shaft to the bottom of the pendulum rating nut). Since the pendulum is about 2-1/4" in diameter, subtract 1-1/8" to get the dimension from the center hand shaft to the center of the bob (which would be about 6-7/8"). I think that this movement might do the trick...
