Beer Drinkers & Water Wheel Battery Chalet Cuckoo Clock 43cm By ENGSTLER

A Colourful Chalet Cuckoo Clock

Looking for a cuckoo clock with attention to detail, lots of colour and moving elements? Why not consider this Battery Chalet Cuckoo Clock By ENGSTLER, representing a genuine, high quality hand-crafted Black Forest cuckoo clock, produced from Schwarzwald in Germany, a region otherwise known as the Black Forest. 

Measuring 43cm in height*, this beautiful clock portrays a delightful scene in the bavarian countryside, featuring a multi tiered chalet house with a unique half timbered facade and a shingled roof. Out the front of the chalet and to the right are two men sitting at a table drinking a beer and enjoying a laugh, whilst a maid is carrying them another round of beers. To the right of the men is a dog in front of his kennel, whilst another dog is sitting to the left of the men. This fascinating scene also includes a water wheel and a large number of carved trees that help to set the scene perfectly. This highly detailed scene also includes a wooden clock dial in the centre of the chalet, and a large amount of hand painted details including window shutters and flowers in the windowsills. Rounding out this unique clock is a timber pendulum that hangs below the clock dial itself, alongside the decorative ornamental weights, whilst colourful dancers are situated on a balcony above the clock dial.

Chalet style cuckoo clocks are the most famous and common type of cuckoo clock, and are often featured in the shape of alpine houses. They usually feature carvings that represent life in the mountain regions of Europe (mainly around Southern Germany, The Black Forest, Switzerland and Austria). Chalet style cuckoo clocks can range from simple arrangements of carved features to very detailed scenes with many moving parts (known as automaton). The automaton for this particular clock include the beer drinkers, the water wheel and the dancers all of which move when the music plays. This clock features both hand crafted and hand carved details to provide a truly unique timepiece that is sure to spark a sense of joy.

The in-built cuckoo of this beautiful clock calls the time each hour, with an automatic night-time shut-off that is controlled by a light sensor. When the room is dark enough, the cuckoo will no longer sound allowing you a sound sleep, before recommencing as the room lights up again the next morning. This cuckoo clock comes with an option of 12 different melodies that rotate each hour including: 

• Cuckoo waltz
• Bavarian country trader
• Mill in the Black Forest
• Wood chopper March
• Happy wanderer
• Drink, brother, drink
• There is a Hofbräuhaus in Munich
• For Elise
• Lorelei
• Home sweet home
• Clementine
• Salut d'amour

Benefits of a Quartz Battery Operated Cuckoo Clock

Quartz cuckoo clocks operate differently to mechanical cuckoo clocks. Quartz simply means the clock movement is battery operated. One benefit of a quartz operated cuckoo clock is that they are easier to manage and more hands off than a traditional mechanical cuckoo clock, as they do not require to be wound, and often feature ornamental or decorative weights and chains. 

Quartz cuckoo clocks are available with or without music; the models that come with music play 12 different tunes that alternate each hour. Some models feature the sound of a real cuckoo bird in a forest environment. 

Most quartz cuckoo clocks feature a light sensor for automatic night shut off to automatically mute any sound when the room gets dark.
