CUCKOO CLOCKS

This chalet style one day musical German cuckoo clock case has a chalet style exterior. The chalet has four windows, a balcony and traditional waterwheel. Hand-carved and hand-painted deer, dancers, flowers and trees give this clock its unique charm. The cuckoo bird hides behind a small door near the chalet's peak. Native deer, plentiful in the Bavarian Black Forest, stand in front of the chalet. At the hour, the cuckoo bird emerges from the swinging door to sing out the time with a song that is between one to twelve cuckoos – one cuckoo call for every hour. On the half hour, the cuckoo briefly appears to sing out one cuckoo call before disappearing back in its wooden nest. When the cuckoo bird starts its song, the smaller deer jump in excitement. As the cuckoo bird stops its call, music begins and the dancers begin the a folk dance spinning on the balcony. The clock alternates playing Edelweiss and 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.
