Cuckoo Clock - Black Forest House Woodchopper

Product info

This original Black Forest Cuckoo Clock depicts teamwork among the woodsmen, getting firewood chopped and sawed up, in front of a farmhouse with shingled hip roof, dormer window chimney and bell tower. A shy fawn is peeking out from among the pines surrounding the house. The wood case is stained in walnut with the balcony decorated with colorful painted flowers and bee hives mounted on it. Miniature windows with curtains and shutters decorate the front of the house. The solid-wood cuckoo calls the number of the hour on every full hour (e.g. 3:00 p.m. or 3:00 a.m. 3 times) and once on the half-hour.   After the Cuckoo calls on the hour, one of the two alternating melodies plays. While the music plays, the three men chop and saw their wood to the sound of the music, while the waterwheel and the folklore dance figurines  turn to the music. The clockface, numbers and clockhands are all made of wood. This clock has an automatic night switch off. The mechanical clockwork runs for a whole week. This cuckoo clock masterpiece is crafted by the Hönes company in Titisee, a family business deeply rooted in the century-old tradition of the clockmaking industry, and is well known for its high-quality Black Forest craftmanship.
