Chalet 8-day musical horse farm cuckoo clock with moving blacksmith, turning mill-wheel, turning horses and turning dancers 54cm by Hubert Herr

This beautiful chalet 8-day movement traditional musical cuckoo clock is crafted by renowned Black Forest cuckoo clock manufacturer 'Hubert Herr'.

Design

Made from wood sourced locally from the Black Forest, Germany, this chalet cuckoo clock depicts a charming Black Forest chalet house, stained in a light walnut finish and decorated with small hand-painted windows, a tall bell tower with bell, small flower baskets, and with a faux-stone foundation. It stands among a beautiful scene of a busy farm with horses, blacksmiths and water-wheel, all surrounded by fir trees.

After the cuckoo bird finishes it's song, the blacksmiths begin to softly hammer away, while to the left side of the scene, a water-wheel slowly turns. During this, one of two melodies will begin to play - "The Happy Wanderer" or "Edelweiss", while on the balcony a series of beautifully hand-painted dancers twirl and rotate through the two arched doorways. This 8-day movement musical cuckoo clock is perfect for adding some music and life as well as some rustic charm to any living room, hallway or study.

Cuckoo Chime

It features a charming little 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

The cuckoo clock plays it's melodies through a mechanical Swiss-made music box that alternates between the songs "Edelweiss" and "Happy wanderer". 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.
• 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 every eight days).
• Equipped with Swiss-made music box which alternates between playing two different melodies upon the hour - 'The Happy Wanderer' and 'Edelweiss'.
• Equipped with a German brass rack-strike movement by Hubert Herr which keeps perfect time as long as the clock is wound.
• This clock features an extra thick solid wood case, for extra stability.
• 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. 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.
