Grandma & Grandpa Battery Chalet Cuckoo Clock 28cm By TRENKLE

A Delightful Chalet Cuckoo Clock

This lovely Cuckoo Clock represents 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.

This fascinating clock portrays a delightful scene in the bavarian countryside, featuring a chalet house with a unique facade. Out the front of the chalet includes many features hand carved out of timber, including a grandma and grandpa sitting on either side of the chalet. Additional features include a pile of chopped logs, and a pine tree outside the chalet. This fascinating scene also includes a wooden clock dial in the centre of the chalet, and hand painted details including window shutters and the cuckoo door. Decorative display weights hang below the clock.

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 in-built cuckoo of this beautiful clock calls the time each hour, with a night-time shut-off mode 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.

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.
