9104 00 00 — Instrument panel clocks and similar clocks for land vehicles, aircraft, spacecraft or vessels

9104 Dashboard clocks and similar clocks for land vehicles, aircraft, spacecraft or ships

This heading covers all watches equipped with a body and clockwork specially designed for installation on dashboards, steering wheels, rear-view mirrors, etc., of vehicles (motor vehicles, motorcycles, etc.), aircraft, spacecraft or ship in, regardless of the type and thickness of the clockwork. This is usually an electromechanical (mostly electronic) watch, a self-winding watch or a mechanical watch with an eight-day factory. This heading also includes chronographs of ground vehicles which, in addition to the ordinary arrows, have a chronograph arrow, a minutes arrow and a current time recorder. This heading does not cover articles when presented separately: watch movements (headings 9108 to 9110), watch cases not intended to be worn or carried (heading 9112), and parts of watch movements (usually heading 9110 or 9114).

3. For the purposes of this chapter, the expression ‘watch movements’ means devices regulated by a balance-wheel and hairspring, quartz crystal or any other system capable of determining intervals of time, with a display or a system to which a mechanical display can be incorporated. Such watch movements shall not exceed 12 mm in thickness and 50 mm in width, length or diameter.

4. Except as provided in note 1, movements and other parts suitable for use both in clocks or watches and in other articles (for example, precision instruments) are to be classified in this chapter.
