Black Forest Couple 1 Day Mechanical Chalet Cuckoo Clock 24cm By TRENKLE

A Delightful Chalet Style Cuckoo Clock

This pleasing 1 Day Mechanical Cuckoo Clock is a genuine, high quality hand-crafted Black Forest cuckoo clock, produced by artisan clock makers TRENKLE from Simonswald in the Black Forest region of Germany.

Measuring 24cm in height*, this beautiful clock portrays a delightful scene in the bavarian countryside, featuring a chalet house with a unique facade. Out the front of the chalet, a man and a woman from the Black Forest are featured on either side of the house, whilst a tree and some chopped logs are also featured. This fascinating scene also includes a wooden clock dial in the centre of the chalet, and hand painted details including green window shutters and a contrasting green cuckoo door.

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). This clock is sure to spark a sense of joy to whoever looks upon the delightful scene.

The in-built cuckoo of this clock calls the time each hour and once at half past through a door that opens, with a manual shut-off mode. This particular clock needs to be wound once a week and does not include music.

This beautifully designed clock by TRENKLE 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.
