'Metallic Chic' Rectangle Cuckoo Clock (Bronze) by Progetti

Meet the 'Metallic Chic' Rectangle cuckoo clock from Italian design company Progetti, a minimalist modern cuckoo clock which is reminiscent of the retro-style appliances of yesteryear but with a modern twist. 

In the colourful design world, various finishes are constantly evolving and Progetti has created one such new finish - a new 'metallic' liquid that can be applied to the wood giving it the feel of real metal. The effect obtained is completely new and the application procedure is actually quite complex, making for a very precious and unique end result where no two pieces are identical. Thus, for their 30th anniversary, Italian design company 'Progetti have brought out this limited edition cuckoo clock with the help from designer Alberto Sala. 

Its shape is reminiscent of the classic 'chalet' cuckoo clock, while its unique asymmetric roof and clean lines give it a minimalist feel. 

The 'Metallic' 30th anniversary series comes in four different models as listed below:

• Metallic Qoockoo
• Metallic Fido
• Metallic Chic
• Metallic Chic' Rectangle

This modern cuckoo clock is driven by battery quartz movement and the cuckoo strike, which chimes on the hour with the sound of a light babbling brook and sweet cuckoo call, is switched off automatically during the night by a built-in light sensor controls.

All Progetti cuckoo clocks are fitted with an Engstler™ clock & cuckoo mechanism which is custom built by the Engstler cuckoo clock manufacturer in the Black Forest region, Germany. Their craftsmanship ensures your cuckoo clock works as wonderfully as the world-famous traditional cuckoo clocks of the Black Forest region.
