I would resist the temptation to fill the wall with lots of little works - one problem I've found with this is that visually, it gets upsetting to the viewer when any of the pieces is 'off,' and you find yourself constantly adjusting one work slightly to the right, another to the left, and hoping that, someday, they'll all hang straight together. What a terrific wall - it gives a sense of spaciousness and airy freedom to the room, and the clock is quite the conversation piece. Here is a link that might be useful: Clockparts radio-controlled clock movement (Radio-controlled means that you would never have to set the clock or adjust it for daylight savings time.) I think I'll look into replacing the regular movements in some of my clocks with radio-controlled ones.

I just googled "clock movement" and found that you can get a radio-controlled clock movement for as little as $7 (including free hands if you want them) at Clockparts. (Keep calling different suppliers until you find someone knowledgeable.) They should also be able to give you clear installation instructions. They should be able to determine exactly what you need. If you know the model number of the replacement part, that may be helpful.
You'll need to know the dimenions of your existing movement and the diameter of the shaft.
I'd call a few of the clock part suppliers and ask them for advice. For a relatively large clock like yours, you might need a high-torque movement, which would be a little more expensive than a movement for a small clock, but still reasonable. My father used to make clocks with his scroll saw and bought the movements from woodworking supply companies like Rockler.
