Cuckoo Clock - Black Forest House

Product info

The Black Forest girl rings the farm house bell on this original Black Forest Cuckoo Clock. As she rings the bell, the woodchopper industriously chops the firewood. The typical Black Forest hip roof is covered with shingles, and a bell tower perches on top. The traditional Black Forest House is lovingly decorated with several balconies and richly decorated with flower boxes, little lattice windows with curtains painted on wood, as well as green heart shutters and a filigree stone wall of wood. The solid wood case is stained in walnut, and the housefront is lovingly decorated with pine trees, a woodshed for the firewood, a water wheel, a wooden bench, and of course, the faithful farm dog.  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 Black Forest girl rings the bell.  After the Cuckoo calls on the hour, one of the two alternating melodies plays. While the music plays, the woodchopper chops wood, 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 a manual night switch off, as well as an automatic night switch off between 9:00 p.m. and 8:00 a.m.. The mechanical clockwork runs for a whole week. The Clockface, Clockhands and Numbers are all of wood.  The clock comes in an original box with complete instructions.  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.
