Not Omega related. Hi, I recently picked up a large Edox dealer outdoor

clock. I am in the process of attempting to repair the ( very small ) clock mechanism. It seems very simple but just wanted some advice on replacing a synchronous motor. I enclose photos and know that I need a 220v , 50h motor but I am not sure about the speed of rotation. I assume it should be 1 rpm . If anyone has any knowledge could you please let me know. Many thanks.

If you know it's not Omega related, why did you post it on the vintage Omega board?

Thought it might be okay to post here, if not I can certainly remove the post. Please advise.

perhaps you can calculate "backwards" : you count and calculate by the "number of teeth" of the transmission...if the motor drives the second-hand

Thanks for the reply. There is no second hand, only minutes and hour hand. It really is the most basic mechanism I have seen.

You need to know if it drives the minutes or hour hand directly , then you can " calculate" ..... if there is another transmission below/hidden

errata: I don t think, the motor has 1/rpm. So he will not supply the one minute hand directly - IMO not suitable for a watch.

Maybe you can find an un-original (quartz) movement from an (old) wall-clock and change just the hands

I really like the esthetic of the clock as is so hopefully I can find the correct synchronous motor to suit. Lots for sale on eBay, just hoping to pick the correct one.

Cool! Thank you for the pictures. I know that some of these had a
master clock witch was located inside the watchmaker shop.

Hopefully you got everything you need to get it running again😀

No, this one is just a plug in and go clock. Even the mechanism to change the time is on the base of the clock ( probably with a big ladder )

. Take a look at this photo. You push up a lever and it engages
