Abstract

A clock movement comprises front and rear housing shells. A support plate is mounted within and between the shells. A gear movement is mounted on a rear side of the support plate and faces the rear shell. A hands movement is arranged on a front side of the support plate and is drivingly connected to the gear movement. A circuit board is connected to the support plate. A motor for the gear movement comprises a stator sheet and a coil bobbin. The stator sheet is fastened in engaging relationship to a rear side of the support plate adjacent a rotor opening in the stator sheet. The coil bobbin is mounted on the stator sheet and includes a plurality of pins which define coil terminals. The pins are soldered to a circuit of the circuit board. The circuit board is disposed in front of the support plate in spaced relationship therewith and is of arc-like configuration such that legs of the arc straddle the minute and hour wheels of the hands movement.
