KUCKUCKSUHR - SCHWARZWALDHAUS HOLZHACKER

Product info

A wood chopper is diligently chopping firewood on this original Black Forest Cuckoo Clock house with carved hip roof and curved windows with red heart shutters. Wooden are also the wall running around the house and the old wagon wheels that decorate the gable. 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 woodchopper moves his arm up and down in a chopping motion. After the cuckoo call, on both the hour and the half hour, one of the two alternating melodies plays, the water wheel turns and folklore dance figurines turn to the music on the balcony. In front of the house there is a St. Bernard dog and there are fir trees, wood piles and a grindstone for sharpening the axe. This clock has a manual night switch off. The clockface, numbers and clockhands are all made of wood. The mechanical clockwork runs for 24 hours. This classicly carved 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".
