Cuckoo Clock - Black Forest House

Product info

In the old tradition, the Black Forest Clock Carrier is hiking from village to village across the countryside, and brings the Black Forest clocks to many different countries in Europe. Before he leaves on his journey, he is invited to enjoy a meal at the farm, greeted by the Black Forest farmer and her faithful farmdog. Situated among the pine trees, the Black Forest farmhouse is adorned with a red painted shingled roof with a beautifully crafted weather vane on top. The solid wood casing has a two-tone wooden housefront in half-timbered tudor style, as well as a filigree wooden balcony in two tones. The colorful miniature lattice windows with red heart shutters and flower boxes match the roof and provide a wonderful contrast to the wooden facade.  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 clock carrier lifts his walking stick to hike.   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".
