Quartz Car Clock Movement  Or Original Electric Car Clock Movement, Which One?

Quartz: Quartz movements are more accurate (+/- 2 seconds per day) and more reliable than original electro-mechanical car clock movements.  No periodic cleaning and oiling is necessary.  Maintenance Free!  Draws about 1/300th of the power of original electric.  Works on your vehicles regular electric system.

Original Electric: When you want to stay authentic original, we have NOS never used original electric car clock movements that fit Borg manufactured clocks from 1970 and up. There is a 70% probability that your car clock is Borg made. Some original car clock movements can be repaired.  Our technician will look at the existing car clock movement if you prefer to have it repaired.
