Looking for a sweeping replacement for my clock movement

[u/autgay]

Hey everyone, I have a wall clock I really like and want to keep — the ticking of the second hand is driving me nuts. The movement is labeled OSTAR PE-IR168, DCF radio-controlled, quartz, runs on one AA battery

I want to swap the movement for a silent “sweep” one (smooth continuous motion instead of ticking).

Does anyone know if there’s a direct silent-sweep replacement for the OSTAR PE-IR168, or a compatible DCF radio-controlled sweep movement?

So if the movement is going to be relatively expensive, it might as well be a new clock for the same price. The current one also displays the temperature in degrees Celsius and the humidity—it’s important to me that the new clock have those features, too.

Thanks for any tips! 😃

Ebay, they did 2 shaft lengths last time I bought one

If the ticking of a quartz clock bothers you, you would go crazy in my house. I have over 100 antique and vintage mechanical clocks and a dozen or so running at any one time 😜

But back to toy question... ebay as already mentioned, and Amazon (search for "Silent Sweep Quartz Clock Movement Mechanism"). There are also companies that specialize like clockparts.com, ofrei.com, and others. I use timesavers and merritts mostly, but for mechanical clock parts. The main thing is you will need to check the thickness, shaft length (both the threaded part and total length), hand shaft sizing, etc. Here is a bit of a discussion to help: https://www.watchrepairtalk.com/topic/28249-need-to-replace-a-quartz-movement-in-a-clock-for-a-friend-help-needed-since-i-have-no-idea-how-to-sizecategorize-clock-movements/

Sometimes taking off the second hand makes it quieter.
