Frequently Asked Questions:

  • 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.

This carved 1-day traditional musical cuckoo clock is crafted by renowned Black Forest manufacturer 'Hubert Herr'.

Design

Made from wood sourced locally from the Black Forest, Germany, this hand-carved 1-day movement musical cuckoo clock comes complete with two hand-carved owls, an array of oak leaves, and features two twin 'cuckoo' doors, one with a little Black Forest man and another with the cuckoo bird. After the cuckoo chime finishes, this musical cuckoo clock then plays one of two alternating melodies - 'The Happy Wanderer' or 'Edelweiss'. This cuckoo clock is perfect for adding some rustic charm and a dash of life and music to a living room, hallway or study. 

Cuckoo Chime

In one of it's doors, it features a cute cuckoo bird which animates from behind it's little door and sings in the hour (a succession of 'cuckoo' calls, corresponding to the time of day). The sound can be turned off manually at night with a 'sound-off' lever. 

Music

Each hour, after the cuckoo bird has finished chiming, it alternates between two melodies. The sound can be turned off manually at night with a 'sound-off' lever:

  • The Happy Wanderer
  • Edelweiss

This clock features:

    • Dual opening doors, one with an animated little Black Forest man and the other with a cuckoo bird which moves out from behind it's door and chimes with it’s ’cuckoo' sound on the hour.
    • Moving pendulum that sways side-to-side.
    • Manual night-time sound shut-off lever.
    • 1-day movement (which means it needs to be wound manually only once a day).
    • Equipped with a German brass rack-strike movement by Hubert Herr which keeps perfect time as long as the clock is wound.
    • Equipped with Swiss-made music box which alternates between playing two different melodies upon the hour - 'The Happy Wanderer' and 'Edelweiss'.
    • This clock features an extra thick solid wood case, for extra stability.
    • Solid cast-iron 'pine-cone-shaped' weights. 

    1-day Movement

        This cuckoo clock has 1-day movement meaning each day (or 24 hours) the clock needs to be manually wound. 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.
