Cuckoo Clock - Black Forest House Beerdrinker

Product info

This Black Forest Cuckoo Clock with shingled hip roof shows Erich the farmer drinking beer at the end of a long day. The wood case is stained partially in walnut, with the upper part in half-timbered framework style, and mounted on a lighter-colored cliff wall. Beautiful carving decoration can be seen on the upper balcony of the housefront. Pine trees, a water trough and a bench for relaxation decorate the front of the house. The cuckoo opens the door at the full hour, "tweets", and calls with Echo, telling the number of the hour. After the cuckoo call, one of the 12 alternating melodies plays. During the music, Erich raises his glass to drink, the water wheel turns, and the folklore dance figurines turn on the balcony. The clock has a manual night switch off, and also a light sensor to automatically turn off the cuckoo  and music sound when it is dark. The Quartz battery clockwork is run by three 1,5V Size C batteries that are delivered with the clock (except in the USA). This clock model is produced by the Anton Schneider company in Schonach, a family business that had its beginning in a farmhouse in 1848, and has grown to be one of the loargest cuckoo clock producers in the area.
