Chalet 1-day Black Forest Mill cuckoo clock with music 33cm by August Schwer

This charming chalet 1-day movement traditional cuckoo clock is crafted by renowned Black Forest cuckoo clock manufacturer 'August Schwer'.

DESIGN

For millennia, water has been used as a source of energy in the Black Forest. Honouring this motif, this German-made chalet cuckoo clock is fitted with a water wheel to the left of the clock which turns with the chiming of the cuckoo clock. The front of the clock is also decorated with many of the typical Black Forest paraphernalia including fir trees, a water trough, a little bambi deer.

Above this scene, on a balcony at the front of the house, a carousel of small hand-painted village dancers rotate and twirl along with the melodies - either songs "The Happy Wanderer" or "Edelweiss" which alternate each hour. This clock also features several hand-painted elements and a detailed wooden clock face with wooden Roman numerals and wooden hands.

CUCKOO CHIME

This clock features a charming little cuckoo bird which animates from behind its little door and sings in the hour (a succession of cuckoo calls to correspond to the hour in the day). The sound can be turned off manually at night with a 'sound-off' lever. 

MUSIC

The cuckoo clock plays it's melodies through a mechanical Swiss-made music box that alternates between the songs "The Happy Wanderer" or "Edelweiss".  The sound can be switched off at night with a manual lever.

THIS CLOCK FEATURES:

• Moving cuckoo bird which moves out from behind its door and chimes with its 'cuckoo' sound on the hour.
• Moving pendulum that sways side-to-side.
• Moving wood-cutter who animates when the cuckoo bird chimes. 
• Manual night-time sound shut-off lever.
• 1-day movement (which means it needs to be wound manually only once a day).
• A mechanical 'REGULA' movement which is made by the market-leader 'SBS-FEINTECHNIK' in the Black Forest/Germany.
• Equipped with a Swiss-made 'REUGE' music box which alternates between playing two different melodies upon the hour - "The Happy Wanderer" or "Edelweiss".
• Solid cast-iron 'pine-cone-shaped' weights. 

1-DAY MOVEMENT

This cuckoo clock has 1-day movement meaning each day (or 24 hours) the clock needs to be manually wound. The act of winding the cuckoo clock is very easy and only requires someone to gently pull on the chains so that the weights are drawn back to their utmost position. Gravity does the rest, and as the weights lower, they slowly pull the chains back through the clock-work mechanism ensuring the clock can be kept perfectly on time.
