Cuckoo Clock - Chalet

Product info

A colorful Black Forest folklore couple and an accordion player adorn the front of this original Black Forest Cuckoo Clock with shingled chalet roof. The solid wood case is stained in light walnut, and has a beautifully crafted darker walnut wood on the upper part of the housefront. Miniature lattice windows with little red heart-shutters and flowerboxes cover the front of the house. The bottom portion of the housefront depicts a stone wall. Many loving details surround the clockface in front of the clockface, including a St. Bernard dog, a pine tree, a miniature basket. 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. 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 complete 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.
