Carved 8-day musical cuckoo clock with eagle, ibex, hunter, oak leaves and dancers 102cm by Hönes

This beautifully carved 8-day movement traditional musical cuckoo clock is crafted by renowned Black Forest cuckoo clock manufacturer 'Hönes'.

Design

Standing at 102cm's tall, this traditional carved 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 and hand-painted elements, it stunningly combines several iconic elements of the famous Black Forest to create a functional work of art that can stand for generations to come. 

At it's top, it is adorned with a large hand-painted eagle striking a majestic pose with it's large wings outstretched. It stands atop a rock at the apex of the carved roof. Surrounding it and the perimeter of the cuckoo clock is a large array of hand-painted oak leaves. The realistic detail in the carving and colour of these leaves make them perfect for framing the other elements within the clock. The wooden clock dial, with it's wooden hands and Roman numerals, is encircled by a golden hand-painted fürst pless hunting horn and comes complete with a realistic leather carved game-bag which hangs from it's bottom. To the left of the clock face is a man dressed in traditional clothing. He smokes on a pipe, as he leans upon his pickaxe; a rope loops over his shoulder. To the right of the clock face, a detailed ibex stands. The detail and colour on it's hide is exceptional. 

Above the clock face, on a balcony at the front of the clock, a carousel of small hand-painted village dancers rotate and twirl when the melody plays - either "Edelweiss" and "Dr. Zhivago".

This 8-day movement carved musical cuckoo clock is perfect for adding some rustic charm, and a touch of colour and 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 "Dr. Zhivago" 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 - 'Dr. Zhivago' 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.
