CUCKOO CLOCKS

This one day musical German cuckoo clock has a scene that comes alive at the top of every hour and half hour. On the chalet roof is a chimney sweep waiting to do his work. The cuckoo bird is hidden in its nest inside a small door above the dial. Beautiful hand-painted flowers decorate the chalet and the pendulum. A rustic scene with hand-carved trees, a goat, logs and an animated wood chopper decorate the base of the case.

At the top of every hour and half hour, the action begins. The chimney sweeps pops in and out of the chimney as the yellow hand-carved cuckoo bird emerges from its nest. As the chimney sweep works, the cuckoo bird sings out the time by making one distinct cuckoo call for each hour of the day as well as once on every half hour. The wood chopper swings his ax cutting a log into smaller wood pieces.

There is a hand-carved hand-painted maple leaf pendulum that 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 weight powers the music and dancers 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.
