Cuckoo Clock - Railroad House

Product info

This original Black Forest Cuckoo Clock depicts the original railroad station cuckoo clock design by architect Friedrich Eisenlohr, who designed it as part of a cuckoo clock design competition in 1850. This clock is lavishly decorated with detail-carved grapevine branches and leaves. The wood case is stained in walnut, and has an unusual finish due to the washed look technique of the stain. 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. The clockface, numbers and clockhands are all made of wood. This clock has a manual night switch off. The mechanical clockwork runs for a whole week. This traditional model 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.
