CLOCK MOVEMENT IMPORTERS (CMI) is also a family business, started with a need to supply Australia with an outlet for quality German movements for enthusiasts and service to the trade 30 years ago. We are still currently based in South East Queensland. Though moving twice over the years we are now permently located at Wacol, Brisbane.
Harry Beaman initially imported the Urgos brand which followed on to the Hermle brand when Urgos was bought out by Hermle a few years later. CMI established the Australian Agents for Hermle Mechanical & Quartz Movements. During the last fifteen years of the Movement Agency, Harry's two sons, Jeffrey and Rodney have also joined the business.
The support and effort of respective family members, and the strong presence in the movement and spare parts industry, aided our decision four years ago to take on the Australia Agency for Hermle Complete Clocks. In 2005 Stewart Findlay joined us as our sale executive and combined we service Australia for all Hermle requirements and more.
