Have a look at the web site for CMI-Hermle in Brisbane (http://www.cmi-hermle.com). They are clock movement importers and sell a wide range of movements, plans, kits, and other parts. Their mechanical clock movements are made by Hermle in Germany. The movements are not cheap, but then they are also top quality (not cheap Indian or Chinese movements that stop working soon after installation, and can't be repaired easily). They also sell high quality quartz movements (some with pendulum and/or chimes) if a mechanical movement is out of your budget range. Note: Although all of the CMI-Hermle plans are designed for mechanical movements, CMI do stock quartz movements that could be used instead. Email CMI-Hermle for advice re alternative movements for a specific set of plans - I've found them to be very helpful.
CMI-Hermle are mainly wholesalers, but they do have a small retail web site as well that includes some of their movements, but I don't think that the plans are listed on their retail site. They may refer you to one of the following re-sellers after providing you with technical advice.
For retail purchases try the following as they both re-sell the CMI-Hermel Plans and Movements.
- Carbatec (http://www.carbatec.com.au/regulator...ssories_c21342) and
- Caroll's Woodcraft Supplies (http://www.cwsonline.com.au/shop/cat...-movement-kits).
Note: The above two re-sellers are not the only suppliers of these type of products in Australia - just Google for some alternatives. There are also alternative Clock Plan suppliers, but mostly in the UK and the USA. Again, let your fingers do the walking ... and use Google.
