Cuckoo Clock - Black Forest House - Hiker

Product info

The Black Forest ist a hiking paradise. In earlier times, the residents of the Black Forest were forced to march through the area because there was no other method of transportation. Today hiking has become a very popular hobby for relaxation, both for visitors and for the local residents here in the Forest.This handcrafted Cuckoo Clock depicts a hardy young hiker with his wooden wagon, as he travels by foot by this colorfully adorned Black Forest House with handcrafted shingled Black Forest hip roof with chimney and side windows. There is much filigree detail handwork on this house, including wonderfully formed domestic animals, carved pine trees, and a fenced-in water wheel that turns along with the dancing figurines when one of the 12 melodies plays at the hour. A beautiful element on this clock is the dark royal blue coloring throughout the whole house front, as well as the carved and painted flowers on both sides of the cuckoo door.

The cuckoo opens the door at the full hour, "tweets", and calls with Echo, telling the number of the hour. After the cuckoo on the hour, one of the 12 alternating melodies plays, to which the folklore figurines dance. On the side there is a switch to turn off the music separately, or both the music and cuckoo together. The clock has an automatic night switch off through a light sensor, which automatically turns the cuckoo sound off when it is dark. The clockface and clockhands are made of wood. The Quartz battery clockwork is run by three 1,5V Size C batteries. The clock comes in an original box with complete instructions. This clock model is produced by the Trenkle company in Simonswald, a family business that has been around for the last 50 years, and prides itself in combining the traditional handcrafting with new technical developments.
