Carved 8-day musical cuckoo clock with large painted cuckoo bird, cuckoo nest with eggs, large painted fir trees, and dancers 57cm by Hönes

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

Design

Standing at 57cm's tall, this traditional carved cuckoo clock is hand-carved by a master carver in the Black Forest, Germany. Made from wood sourced locally from the region, it beautifully 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. 

The entirety of the cuckoo clock is beautifully hand-carved and hand-painted and features a family of cuckoo birds from the Black Forest. Adorning the apex of it's roof is a realistic three-dimensional cuckoo bird with it's wings outstretched. It is hand-painted in greys and whites and the carved detail on it's feathers and face is exceptional. It is perched in the foreground on a realistic branch while in the background colourful green fir trees follow the angle of the roof. Hanging from the roof, three-dimensional fir tree leaves fall away, exquisitely framing the clocks cross-hatched facade, chiming cuckoo bird, village dancers and it's wooden clock face made of wooden hands and Roman numerals. At either side of it, two mighty fir trees rise from the solid wooden base to shelter a family of cuckoo birds, watching over their egg-filled nest. 

Finally, to complete this charming scene, a balcony at the front of the clock contains a carousel of small hand-painted village dancers stand ready to rotate and twirl during the melody - either "Edelweiss" or "The Happy Wanderer" - which alternately play on the hour, after the cuckoo chimes.

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 it's 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 it's 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 it's door and chimes with it’s 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 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 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.
