movent that makes a single strike, no music

I assume from other posts that it is no longer possible to buy a striking movement that makes a single chime at the half hour and hour, rather than going bing-bong like the Avon lady or pretending to be westminster cathedral, otherwise we wouldn't be epoxying hammers together. I have looked everywhere online that google could find, and none of the movements seem to do this simple chime. Does ANYBODY know where I could find a single-strike movement?

What about a bell strike type of movement (not to be confused with a ship's bell movement)? It's a stab in the dark, but who knows... I know it is an option with a mechanical (key-wound) movements (like #13131, #13121, #13010, or #13122). Maybe there is a quartz equivalent out there...

This one strikes a bell on the hour.
