CUCKOO CLOCKS

This beautiful eight day cuckoo clock captures the German folk music tradition of the oompah band and folk dancing. At the base of the cuckoo clock, four oompah band players move back and forth as the classic folk tunes the Happy Wander or Edelweiss play. Dancers above spin with the music while the band plays below their balcony. This action sequence starts at the top of each hour. The cuckoo bird begins the action by emerging from behind its door and calling out the time. The cuckoo calls out one distinct cuckoo for each hour of the day and once on every half hour.

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.
