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 stunning chalet 8-day cuckoo clock is crafted by renowned Black Forest cuckoo clock manufacturer 'Hubert Herr'.

Design & Music

This traditional chalet cuckoo clock comes complete with singing cuckoo bird which sings in the number of hours upon each hour. It then alternately plays one of two different popular traditional melodies. Both the music and cuckoo bird sound effects can be manually switched off separately at night or anytime. 

Made of wood sourced locally from the Black Forest in Germany, and in the style of a beautiful Bavarian alpine chalet, it comes complete with a few hand-crafted elements which spring to life upon the hour such as the cuckoo bird, moving train on the top, moving water-wheel and moving chimney-sweeper, this chalet cuckoo clock also has other hand-crafted elements such as wooden hand-cut shingles, pine trees and rocks. This 8-day movement chalet cuckoo clock with music is perfect for adding some rustic charm and a splash of colour and life to any living room, hallway or study.

This clock features:

    • Moving cuckoo bird which moves out from behind it's door and chimes with it’s ’cuckoo' sound for each hour on the hour. 
    • Moving water wheel, train and chimney sweeper that animate when the cuckoo bird chimes.
    • 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 a German brass rack-strike movement by Hubert Herr which keeps perfect time as long as the clock is wound.
    • Swiss made music box which plays one of two different popular traditional melodies upon the hour (comes with manual sound shut-off).
    • 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.
