Carved 8-day musical colourful cuckoo clock with carved chalet facade, boy with water, horses, cat, owls and dancers 92cm by Hönes

This stunning carved 8-day movement traditional musical cuckoo clock is crafted by renowned cuckoo clock manufacturer 'Hönes' in the Black Forest, Germany. 

Design

Standing at 92cm's tall, this grand and colourful traditional carved cuckoo clock is hand-carved by a master carver in the Black Forest, Germany. Made from wood sourced locally from the region, and with its grand size, it stunningly combines several iconic elements of the famous Black Forest to create a functional work of art which can be passed on for generations to come. 

Featuring a charming scene with a boy at a water-pump, a cat, two owls, and two beautiful horses at its front, this large cuckoo clock combines a tall chalet with roof as well as a uniquely carved and hand-painted facade. Below its steep roof with deep carved shingles, a series of finely carved fir tree leaves falls beneath the roof, it's branches wind their way to create a beautiful symmetry around the edges of the chalet. Two beautifully hand-painted owls are perched upon the branches. Below the wooden clock face which has wooden hands and Roman numerals, a hand-painted and hand-carved village boy, dressed in traditional attire, fills a bowl at the water pump while a curious cat watches the scene. Two carved and hand-painted horses - a lovely mare and it's foal - drink from the water trough. 

Above the clock face, on a balcony at the front of the clock, a carousel of small hand-painted village dancers rotate and twirl when the melody plays - either "Edelweiss" and "The Happy Wanderer".

Stained in an 'antique walnut' finish, this 8-day movement carved musical cuckoo clock is perfect for adding some rustic charm, and a touch of life and sound to any living room, hallway or study. 

Cuckoo Chime

This clock features a charming little cuckoo bird which animates from behind its little door and sings in the hour (a succession of cuckoo calls to correspond to the hour in the day). The sound can be turned off manually at night with a 'sound-off' lever. 

Music

The cuckoo clock plays its melodies through a mechanical Swiss-made music box that alternates between the songs "The Happy Wanderer" and "Edelweiss". The sound can be switched off at night with a manual lever. 

This clock features:

• Moving cuckoo bird which moves out from behind its door and chimes with its cuckoo' sound on the hour. It sings a succession of cuckoo's equal to the hour of the day. 
• Moving village dancers who animate by twirling and rotating through the two arched doorways when the melodies play.
• 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 only every eight days).
• A mechanical 'REGULA' movement which is made by the market-leader 'SBS-FEINTECHNIK' in the Black Forest/Germany.
• Equipped with Swiss-made 'REUGE' music box which alternates between playing two different melodies upon the hour - 'The Happy Wanderer' and 'Edelweiss'.
• Solid wooden '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 although you are free to wind it at any time within this period. 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.
