Cuckoo Clock - Black Forest House Woodchopper

Product info

The proud Black Forest couple watch proudly as the farm worker chops their winter firewood on this this Black Forest House Cuckoo Clock with shingled roof and bell tower.  The housefront has a large balcony for the Black Forest dancing couples, as well as smaller balconies above and below the dancing terrace with miniature windows with red heart shutters and flower boxes. The housefront is decorated with many lovingly crafted details, such as the encased water wheel, the faithful farm dog, and handcarved pine trees on either side of the farmyard. 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, the water wheel turns, the farmer chops his firewood, and the dancers turn in a dance circle. 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. The clock comes in an original box with 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.
