CUCKOO CLOCKS

This chalet style cuckoo clock has hand-carved hand-painted dancers, woodchopper, water wheel and cuckoo bird. The cuckoo bird calls out its distinctive cuckoo sound on the hour and half hour, with one cuckoo for each hour and one for every half hour. As the cuckoo bird ends its song, the waterwheel begins to spin as the wood chopper chops the wood with his ax. On the balcony above dancers in traditional German folk costumes spin to the sounds of folk tunes, either Edelweiss or 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.
