5 Leaf & Bird 1 Day Mechanical Carved Cuckoo Clock With Dancers & Flowers 36cm By SCHWAB

Produced In The Black Forest

This delightful 1 Day Mechanical Cuckoo Clock was created by German designer Albert Schwab, who has been producing high quality cuckoo clocks in the heart of the Black Forest since 1885.

Measuring 36cm in height*, this unique clock features a bird carving at the crown of the clock along with an arrangement of 5 ornamental maple leaves adorning the clock’s body, a very famous and traditional element for cuckoo clock designs. The design of a frame of leaves is also commonly crowned with a carved deer head, however this particular clock instead features a bird. The ornamental leaves around the front of the clock surround a wooden clock dial, with the overall appearance rounded out with a timber pendulum that hangs below the clock, alongside the weights. Perhaps the most fascinating feature of this timepiece is the addition of colourful dancers above the clock dial who twirl when the music plays, along with the addition of handpainted flowers on the centres of the leaves & pendulum.

The in-built cuckoo of this beautiful clock calls the full time each hour, and once on the half hour, with a manual override to silence the cuckoo altogether should that be preferred. There are two melodies that alternate with this clock after the cuckoo calls - Edelweiss and Happy Wanderer. These tunes are played on a high quality Swiss made music movement by Reuge. This delightful clock needs to be wound once a day and is sure to spark a sense of joy to whoever gazes upon the lovely scene.

This beautifully designed clock is a charming timepiece, suitable for those looking for a quality traditional cuckoo clock using carving methods that have been practised for hundreds of years.

Benefits of a Mechanical Cuckoo Clock

Black Forest mechanical cuckoo clocks are weight driven and are available in two different movements:

• 1 Day Movement - you wind the clock by pulling the chain and winding the weights once a day
• 8 Day Movement - you wind the clock by pulling the chain and winding the weights once a week

Each mechanical cuckoo clock will have either two or three weights; two weights for cuckoo only and three weights for cuckoo and music. One weight runs the clock movement and hands that show the time and the second weight drives the cuckoo calling mechanism. The cuckoo sound is produced using bellows that push air through two whistles creating the 'cook' and 'coo' sounds respectively. If you choose to also have music with your mechanical cuckoo clock, the third weight drives a traditional mechanical music box movement with a pinned cylinder that plucks notes on a 'comb' to produce a melody.
