Hiker, Dog & Water Wheel Battery Chalet Cuckoo Clock 28cm By TRENKLE

This Battery 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 28cm in height*, this beautiful clock portrays a delightful scene in the bavarian countryside, featuring a multi tiered chalet house. Out the front of the chalet and to the right is a hiker, arriving at the chalet with his dog. This fascinating scene also features a goose, some trees and a waterwheel outside the chalet. This design also features two Edelweiss flowers around the frame of the clock above the cuckoo door. The white star-shaped Edelweiss flower is unique to the alps, mainly of Germany, Austria and Switzerland. Its name means 'Noble White' and represents strength, toughness, bravery and courage. This is because the flower survives the harshest winters at very high altitudes. Rounding out this unique clock is a wooden clock dial and timber pendulum that hangs below the clock itself, alongside the 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). 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 automaton for this particular clock include the hiker who raises his stick, and the water wheel which turns when the music plays.

The in-built cuckoo of this beautiful clock calls the time each hour, with an option of 12 different melodies that rotate each hour after the cuckoo calls. 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.
