Chalet 8-day musical Black Forest house cuckoo clock with moving musicians, clock peddler, mill-wheel, and dancers 56cm 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, small hand-painted flower baskets, a beautifully hand-crafted porch and balcony, moving mill-wheel and belfry bell tower. 

At it's front, in a scene dotted with tree stump seats, rocks, a small picket fence, fir trees and a water well, a delightful scene plays out with two moving musicians - one with a trumpet, the other with an accordion. Standing by the house, to the right of the clock, is a beautifully hand-painted traditional Black Forest clock peddler, his skill-fully crafted wares on his back. 

After the cuckoo chimes and once the melody begins, the Black Forest clock peddler and the musicians animate to life while on the balcony of the house, a series of beautifully hand-painted village 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.
• Moving village dancers that dance to the melody. 
• Moving Black Forest clock peddler. 
• Moving musicians with trumpet and accordion.  
• 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.
