16" Eight Day Cuckoo Clock with Hand-carved Vines and Leaves

This German cuckoo clock features wooden hands, a wood dial with Roman numerals, and a warm light yellow hand-painted and hand-carved cuckoo bird. The cuckoo clock case is surrounded by vines covered with leaves. Two cast iron pine cone weights are suspended beneath the clock case by two separate brass chains.

On every hour the cuckoo bird emerges from a swinging door above the clock dial and counts the hour by cuckooing once per hour. (Example: At one o'clock the bird will cuckoo once. At eight o'clock the bird will cuckoo eight times) The half hour is announced with one cuckoo call.  The hand-carved maple leaf pendulum continously swings back and forth which controls the timing of the clock.

The Regula eight day movement is wound once per day by raising the two pine cone weights. One weight powers the time and the other weight powers the cuckoo and cuckoo call.

*Great effort has been made to portray each cuckoo clock as accurately as possible. As with many handmade items, the exact coloration and carving may vary slightly from clock to clock. We consider this to be a special part of their character.

This clock is covered by a two year limited warranty covering workmanship and manufacturers defects.
