CUCKOO CLOCKS

This charming eight day musical German cuckoo clock is decorated with six hand-carved maple leaves and vines. There are five hand-carved cuckoo birds on the outside of the clock case, one perched at the top and two birds near the base waiting to feed the two baby birds who are peaking out from the safety of their nest. Following the Black Forest traditional style, a hand-carved and hand-painted cuckoo bird and dancers are positioned at the top of the clock case.

At the top of each hour and on the half hour, the cuckoo bird pops out of its hiding spot and calls out the time, one distinct call for each hour of the day and one call for each half hour.
At the top of every hour as the cuckoo bird sings out the time, the birds at the base of the clock bob over the baby birds in a feeding motion. On the top of every hour when the cuckoo bird ends its song, a German folk tune begins to play alternating between Edelweiss or The Happy Wanderer. As the music plays the dancers spin and revolve around the balcony.

A maple 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.
