Cuckoo Clock - Black Forest House Woodchopper

Product info

A hardworking woodchopper in action is depicted on this Black Forest Cuckoo Clock with shingled Black Forest hip roof and bell tower. The wood case is lovingly decorated with a balcony full of flowers and shutters with filigree handcrafting. Below the balcony, beautiful lattice windows with curtains and red shutters adorn the housefront. In front of the half-timbered housefront there are pine trees, a water wheel with wooden fence and a farm dog, as well as a wooden bench and a woodshed for storage of the firewood. The cuckoo opens the door at the hour, and tweets and calls out the number of the hour with an echo. Afterwards one of the 12 alternating melodies are played. During the music, the woodchopper cuts his firewood and the folklore figurines dance on the balcony. The water wheel also turns to the music. On the side you will find a switch to turn off the music separately, or both the cuckoo and the music. Through a light sensor the clock is automatically quiet after dark, although the clock keeps running. This clock is run by a quartz battery clockwork that runs on three 1,5V batteries - Size C (delivered with clock). This clock is produced by the Black Forest company Engstler, a family-run business that has been well-known for generations both for its tradition and technical excellence.
