Eight Day Musical Chalet Cuckoo Clock with Dancers - Boy and Girl in Farmyard - 15 Inches Tall This delightful eight day musical cuckoo clock has a farm yard scene with a young boy and girl and their cat and dog. On a balcony overhead German dancers in traditional costumes are poised ready to dance at the top of every hour. The clock music plays either Edelweiss or The Happy Wanderer. Under the peak of the chalet the cuckoo bird hides behind a closed door until the top of the hour or at every half hour. The cuckoo calls out one distinct cuckoo for each hour of the day and once on every half hour. At the top of the hour when the cuckoo bird has concluded its song, the dancers begin to spin around the balcony.
A hand-carved pendulum hangs below the clock continuously swinging back and forth controlling the timing of the clock. This cuckoo clock is powered by a Regula 30 hour all brass clock movement which is made in the Black Forest of Germany. The clock features the traditional brass pinecone weights hanging beneath the clock on brass chains. The clock is wound by raising the weights beneath the clock on its brass chains. One brass pine cone weight powers the cuckoo and cuckoo call time, one pine cone weight powers the music and moving figures while the other pinecone weight powers the time. The clock dial and hands are made of wood with roman numerals marking the time. The musical and cuckoo bird sounds can be turned on and off by a switch located at the base of the clock.
We have used high quality digital photography to show you this model cuckoo clock in as much detail as possible.
