Minute hands are measured from the tip of the hand to the center of the mount hole. Refer to the Minute Hand Measurement diagram.
If you have a dial and need to determine the length of hands you need, measure from the center hole of the dial plate to the outside edge of the time ring (A). It is, in other words, half the diameter of the time ring. This measurement will give you the needed minute hand length.
The size of the hour hand will correspond to the length of the minute hand. It is NOT necessary to measure the hour hand. If there is no time ring, measure from the outside edge of the numerals or markers. With some dial styles, longer or shorter hands look fine, depending on personal taste.
