Cuckoo Clock - Black Forest House - Woodchopper

Product info

With a little hard work the industrious farmer is preparing his firewood for the cold Black Forest winter. Hiding among the pine trees, firewood branches and behind the water wheel, a huge bear is carrying a fish in his mouth. The Black Forest farm is lovingly decorated and handcrafted with a shingled hip roof, a filigree balcony with decorative wagon wheels, little lattice windows with red heart shutters and flower boxes, and a depicted stone wall made of wood on the lower part of the housefront.  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. As the cuckoo calls, the farmer chops his wood in time.   After the cuckoo call on the full hour, one of the two alternating melodies plays, and the folklore dance figurines turn to the music on the balcony.  This clock has a manual night switch off.  The clockface, numbers and clockhands are all made of wood. The mechanical clockwork runs for a whole week. The clock comes in an original box with complete instructions and a VdS certificate. This special clock is crafted by the Hekas company in Schonach, a family business that was founded in 1938 by Helmut Kammerer, and in the 3rd generation still stands for its original motto:  "Tradition with perfection".
