Antique Replica 1885 'Railroad' style 8-day movement cuckoo clock 46cm by Rombach & Haas

A beautiful replica of the 'Railroad' chalet-style cuckoo clocks of 1885, this traditional cuckoo clock is intricately hand-crafted by renowned Black Forest cuckoo clock manufacturer 'Rombach & Haas' in Germany. 

This clock features:

• 8-day mechanical movement.
• A life-like animated cuckoo bird which calls once every half hour and then calls the number of hours upon the hour.
• A swinging pendulum.
• Manual night-time sound shut-off.
• 2-year warranty.

Made from wood sourced locally from the Black Forest, this traditional cuckoo clock which is fashioned after the 'railroad gatekeeper houses' of the 18th century, is hand-carved by a skilled craftsperson to create the intricate chalet-style housing, adorning leaves and other design flourishes. It is then lightly stained in a rich walnut varnish and the parts are assembled together with the clock-work mechanism, and adorned with a hard-carved cuckoo bird. This is how the iconic Black Forest cuckoo clock is born. 

Each traditional 'Rombach & Haas' cuckoo clock is powered with a mechanical extreme long-life rack strike movement. In addition, the models with music contain a music box from the market leader 'REUGE' of Switzerland. This such model 'cuckoo' calls every half-hour once and then the number of the hours every full hour.

A simply stunning cuckoo clock, just imagine how this clock could transform a wall or a room in your home or office and bring a deep sense of nostalgia and a touch of old-world class. 

This traditional cuckoo clock runs on 8-day mechanical movement meaning that it needs to be wound roughly once every eight days. To do this, one simply pulls on the chains until the weights are lifted up closer to the clocks body. Gravity then does the rest, pulling the weights slowly down over the course of eight days and thus feeding the chains through the clock-work mechanism and powering the movement.  

This antique replica cuckoo clock has a wooden cuckoo, wooden clock dial, wooden bird and wooden clock hands. The weights are made of cast iron and the chains of solid metal. The height refers only to the clock housing and not the entire length of the clock with chains and weights attached. This height usually comes to roughly 1.8 meters for 8-day movement clocks and less for 1-day movement clocks. All of our traditional and modern cuckoo clocks come with setup, installation and maintenance instructions in English and we also offer guidance in our FAQ or directly via email if you have any questions or concerns.
