CUCKOO CLOCKS

This is a captivating one day musical chalet style cuckoo clock with multiple actions that occur every hour and half hour. The chimney shingled roof and the wood etched cottage front recreates the look of a Bavarian cottage high in the peaks of the Black Forest. A cuckoo bird hides behind a small door near the peak of the chalet while a group of dancers in traditional German folk dress are poised ready to begin the traditional folk dances. At the top of the hour, the cuckoo bird emerges and calls out its distinctive call, one call for each hour and one for every half hour. As the cuckoo bird ends his song announcing the time, the goats in the yard below begin butting their heads, as the water wheel turns and the dancers begin spinning to the sounds of Edelweiss of The Happy Wanderer.

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.
