Frequently Asked Questions:
-
What is a quartz movement cuckoo clock?
Quartz movement just means 'battery powered'. Unlike mechanical 1-day and 8-day clocks, a quartz movement clock doesn't need to be manually wound and instead will always work until the battery runs out (on most models it takes roughly one year for the battery to drain although this can differ depending on the model). The quartz power runs the time-keeping as well as the cuckoo bird sound/movement. On some models it also powers the movement of dancers, music, water wheel, and other animations etc. We generally recommend quartz movement cuckoo clocks for people who might forget to wind their clocks or who want a hassle free option.

What does 'night-time shutoff' or 'light sensor' mean?
Most cuckoo clocks (either mechanical or battery powered) come with 'night-time shutoff' in either a manual or 'light sensor' variety. This just means that both varieties enable you to control when the clock makes sounds.
Mechanical cuckoo clocks have a manual 'night-time shutoff' which are usually a lever with 2 positions - sound on or sound off.
Battery powered cuckoo clocks usually come with an automatic 'night-time shutoff' otherwise known as a light sensor which detects light levels and disables sound when the lights are off or it is very dark. While some include volume levels as well as sound on/off positions, some models also include an option to stop the sound between the hours of 9:00pm and 8:00am.

Design
Masterfully carved, this cuckoo clock depicts one of the classic cuckoo clock themes that highlights the elements of 'the hunt'. On top of the roof is the deer head surrounded with carved leaves adorning the roof of the clock. To the right and left of the dial are the hunted animals - a rabbit and a bird. Framing the dial is a hunting horn, with its belt powder pouch below the dial. The leaves decoration completes the clock’s beauty.

- The running-time of the batteries before they require changing is about one year.
- The clock (including the dials, hands, and weights) are crafted from locally sourced wood from the Black Forest, Germany.

Cuckoo Chime
It features a cuckoo bird which calls on the hour with it's iconic 'cuckoo' sound as well as a faint echo and sound of a babbling brook, to evoke the sense of a wide open forest. Following each cuckoo chime is a short melody.
Materials
The majority of this cuckoo clock, including the outside of the clock and all of the finer details/elements of the clock, are constructed with wood (either painted or varnished). This includes a wooden dial, wooden clock hands, and wooden pendulum. However the cuckoo bird and its moving wings is made of plastic and the cuckoo door is also plastic, although it is wood-like in appearance. The clocks chains are metal, but the weights are made of moulded plastic that are painted to look like realistic cast iron weights. The dimensions listed below refer only to the clock without pendulum and weights however, as its weights are purely decorative, they do not add much extra height.
