I think that "quand" is used in a much broader sense. So if you are asked:
Man: Alors, quand est-ce qu’on part ? {So, when / how soon do we leave?}
The answer will vary greatly:
Woman: Maintenant. {right now}
Woman: Seulement après avoir fait les devoirs. {after doing the homework}
Woman: C’est pour le mois prochain. {sometime in the next month}
Whereas "à quelle heure" is focussed on a specific time period:
Man: Alors, à quelle heure est-ce qu’on part ?
Woman: Entre 12h et 15h.
