Farmer & Water Wheel Battery Chalet Cuckoo Clock 30cm By TRENKLE

A Delightful Chalet Style Cuckoo Clock

This unique chalet 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 30cm in height*, this delightful clock portrays a delightful farming scene in the bavarian countryside, featuring a multi level chalet house with a unique facade of two tone timber. Out the front of the chalet is a farmer and some roosters, along with a water wheel, a dog in a cart and a couple of large trees. This fascinating scene also includes a wooden clock dial in the centre of the chalet, and hand painted details including red love hearts on the window shutters and flowers in the windowsill. Rounding out this unique clock is a timber pendulum that hangs below the clock itself, along with the decorative display weights.

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 particular automaton for this clock includes the farmer who raises his arm and the water wheel which turns when the music plays.

The in-built cuckoo of this clock calls the time each hour, with an automatic night 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. There is also a manual override to silence the cuckoo altogether should that be preferred.

This cuckoo clock comes with an option of 12 different melodies that rotate each hour. The music can be turned off via a switch if preferred.

This delightful timepiece by TRENKLE is suitable for those looking for a quality cuckoo clock using methods that have been practised for hundreds of years.

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.
