Cuckoo Clock - Woodchopper

Product info

Many homes in the Black Forest still heat their homes with wood. During the warmer months, the farmers prepare their winter firewood. The water wheel adorns many of the older farm houses, which used them for power before electricity was invented. The handcrafted shingled wooden roof adorns the beautiful two-toned clock cabinet, which has many special contrasting handcarved elements, and dark blue shutters.

The cuckoo opens the door at the full hour, "tweets", and calls with Echo, telling the number of the hour. After the cuckoo on the hour, one of the 12 alternating melodies plays. On the side there is a switch to turn off the music separately, or both the music and cuckoo together. The clock has an automatic night switch off through a light sensor, which automatically turns the cuckoo sound off when it is dark. The clockface and clockhands are made of wood. The Quartz battery clockwork is run by three 1,5V Size C batteries. 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.
