Cuckoo Clock - Black Forest House Woodshopper

Product info

An industrious woodchopper in front of a typical Black Forest House is shown on this original Cuckoo Clock from the Black Forest, with its traditional Black Forest hip roof. The wood case is richly decorated with filigree half-timbered design, a balcony and a rounded window with green heart shutters and flower boxes. In front of the house the clock is lovingly adorned with a covered water wheel, woodchopper, pine tree and woodstack. The solid-wood cuckoo bird calls on the full hour with the number of the hour (e.g. 3 times at 3 p.m.) and calls once on the half-hour.  Everytime the cuckoo calls, the woodchopper moves his ax up and down. After the cuckoo calls, on both the hour and half-hour, one of the two alternating melodies plays. The water wheel turns to the music, and the folklore couples dance to the melody. This clock model has a manual night-switch-off. Clockface, numbers and Clock hands are made of wood. The mechanical clockwork runs for 24 hours. This Black Forest cuckoo clock comes in an original box with complete instructions. This Cuckoo Clock is produced by the Hönes company in Titisee, which is deeply rooted in the century-old tradition of the clockmaking industry and stands for Black Forest quality craftsmanship.
