'Sheikh' Cuckoo Clock (White with Gold trimmings) by Progetti

Over the years, Progetti has made a tribute to many important cities, places, and symbols from all over the world. Recently it's collection includes 'Ku Ku Kina' and 'Burano'. But now we are pleased to present ‘Sheikh’, designed by Antonio Farina that represents, in a contemporary fashion, the ancient Arabic culture with its specific architectural mosque with ornate dome resting on a linear structure.

This modern cuckoo clock, crowned with either a golden or salmon dome, is made of fine quality wood and available in four colour combinations -  plain white with gold roof & trimmings, white with gold roof, trimmings and Greek fret, plain black with bronze roof & trimmings and finally black with bronze roof, trimmings and gold Greek fret. The base is rectangular in shape, with a shallow relief of the outline of a mosque arch, where the hands and the cuckoo are placed.

The battery powered movement has a photosensitive sensor that automatically turns off the cuckoo sound in the absence of light. It also has a switch to regulate the volume of the cuckoo sound or to switch it off completely.

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.
