Cuckoo Clock - Chalet - Hansel + Gretel

Product info

This original Black Forest Cuckoo Clock depicts the story of "Hansel & Gretel", complete with the wickend witch and gingerbread cottage. The solid wood case is stained in walnut with a romantically slanted and shingled roof with chimney, with the lower part of the housefront in a lighter wood to provide a beautiful contrast to the darker stain. The housefront is lavishly decorated with many little red hearts,  and pretzel ornaments adorn both sides of the clockface below the cuckoo door. Hansel & Gretel stand in front of the cottage and are talking with the witch. 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.
