Cuckoo Clock - Black Forest House

Product info

This original Black Forest Cuckoo Clock depicts a woodsman working with a horse sled, in front of a farmhouse with shingled hip roof, dormer window and bell tower. The traditional, old-fashioned art to load and transport fallen trees and tree stumps is depicted here. The wood case is stained in walnut, with a light-colored Stonewall design at the bottom. The house is decorated with miniature windows with green shutters and tiny, painted flowers. 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.  During the cuckoo call, the woodsman pulls on the horse reigns. After the Cuckoo calls on the hour, one of the two alternating melodies plays. While the music plays, the saw moves up and down, and the waterwheel and the folklore dance figurines  also turn to the music. The clockface, numbers and clockhands are all made of wood. This clock has an automatic night switch off. The mechanical clockwork runs for a whole week. This cuckoo clock masterpiece 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.
