Eagle 8 Day Mechanical Carved Cuckoo Clock 51cm By HÖNES

A Detailed Cuckoo Clock Design

Attention to detail is easily evident with this charming 8 Day Mechanical Carved Cuckoo Clock designed by world renowned clock makers HÖNES from the Black Forest in Germany, where the company was established in 1950.

Measuring 51cm in height*, this unique clock features a full carved eagle at the crown of the clock along with an arrangement of ornamental leaves adorning the clock’s body, a very famous and traditional element for cuckoo clock designs. On either side of the wooden clock dial feature a bird on the left, and a mountaineer on the right. Rounding out this timepiece is a timber pendulum that hangs below the clock, alongside the weights, whilst colourful dancers are situated on a balcony above the clock dial. A baby bird is positioned in a nest below the clock dial, rounding out this fascinating scene.

The in-built cuckoo of this beautiful clock calls the time each hour and once at half past, with a manual shut-off mode that can be enabled, should that be preferred. This particular clock runs on an 8 day mechanism, and therefore needs to be wound once a week simply by pulling the weights. The automaton (moving elements) for this cuckoo clock include the dancers who twirl on the balcony when the music plays on the full hour. The music is played on a 36 note music box, offering a more detailed melody than a standard cuckoo clock. This clock comes with a manual on/off lever that can be activated at any time.

This beautifully designed clock by HÖNES represents a charming timepiece, suitable for those looking for a quality traditional cuckoo clock that has been carved using 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.
