Carved 8-day musical colourful cuckoo clock with two large owls, six small owls, oak leaves, and dancers 87cm by Hönes

This stunning carved 8-day movement traditional musical cuckoo clock is crafted by renowned cuckoo clock manufacturer 'Hönes' in the Black Forest, Germany. 

Design

Standing at 87cm's tall, this intricately crafted traditional cuckoo clock is hand-carved by a master carver in the Black Forest, Germany. Made from wood sourced locally from the region, and with it's grand size, it stunningly combines several iconic elements of the famous Black Forest to create a functional work of art which can be passed on for generations to come. 

Adorning it's colourful frame are a pair of lovely hand-painted owls perched together atop branches which build the intricately carved apex of the clock's roof. Growing from each side of the branches, and down around the clock, are expertly hand-carved green oak leaves which surround the perimeter of the clock. They are finely carved yet solid and their layout and colour completes the beautiful symmetry that repeats throughout the facade. Against the cross-hatched clock chassis, two owls with wings outstretched land on smaller branches, covered with tiny leaves and pine cones, on either side of the clock face. These owls are similar but not identical and the majestic pose they take and the detail in their feathers and anatomy is exquisite. The wooden clock face comes complete with a wooden face and wooden clock hands and is finished in a darker colour than the lightly stained chassis. Below it, a couple of smaller owls, each carved with it's own pose, watches over two baby owls. 

Finally, above the clock face and on the wooden balcony, we find a carousel of small hand-painted village dancers who rotate and twirl when the music-box plays either one of two melodies, alternating between "Edelweiss" and "The Happy Wanderer".

Beautifully hand-painted, and with a chassis lined with perfectly hand-crafted shingles, this 8-day movement carved musical cuckoo clock is simply perfect for adding some rustic charm, and a touch of life and sound to any living room, hallway or study. 

Cuckoo Chime

This clock features a charming little cuckoo bird which animates from behind it's 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" and "Edelweiss". The sound can be switched off at night with a manual lever. 

This clock features:

• Moving cuckoo bird which moves out from behind it's door and chimes with it’s cuckoo' sound on the hour. It sings a succession of cuckoo's equal to the hour of the day. 
• Moving village dancers who animate by twirling and rotating through the two arched doorways when the melodies play.
• Moving pendulum that sways side-to-side.
• Manual night-time sound shut-off lever.
• 8-day movement (which means it needs to be wound manually only every eight days).
• A mechanical 'REGULA' movement which is made by the market-leader 'SBS-FEINTECHNIK' in the Black Forest/Germany.
• Equipped with Swiss-made 'REUGE' music box which alternates between playing two different melodies upon the hour - 'The Happy Wanderer' and 'Edelweiss'.
• Solid cast-iron 'pine-cone-shaped' weights. 

8-day Movement

This cuckoo clock has 8-day movement meaning approximately every eight days the clock needs to be manually wound although you are free to wind it at any time within this period. 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 ensures the clock can be kept perfectly on time as the weight lowers and slowly pulls the chain back through the clock-work mechanism.
