A Highly Detailed & Large Cuckoo Clock With Carved Features
This charming 8 Day Mechanical Chalet Cuckoo Clock designed by world renowned clock makers HÖNES from the Black Forest in Germany, where the company was established in 1950.
Measuring an impressive 62cm in height*, this beautiful chalet style clock showcases both hand carved and crafted features, to create a truly eye catching timepiece. This clock features a multi-level Bavarian chalet house with a timber facade, water wheel and a hunter out the front of the house, along with some grazing deer. Additional details out the front of the chalet include hand carved pine trees that surround the chalet on the sides - such detailed foliage helps to set the scene perfectly.
The clock also features a chalet style roof, with a bell tower that stands high above the roof, along with a wooden clock dial in the centre of the piece, and a timber pendulum that hangs below the clock itself, alongside the weights. Large amounts of hand painted details help to add a hint of colour to the fascinating scene, with green window shutters and flowers in the windowsills, along with the detail out the front of the chalet that has been handpainted. Rounding out the fascinating design of this cuckoo clock are colourful dancers on a balcony above the clock dial. This particular clock runs on an 8 day mechanism, and therefore needs to be wound once a week simply by pulling the weights. The in-built cuckoo of this clock calls the time each hour and once at half past, with an automatic night shut-off mode to allow you a sound sleep before recommencing again the next morning. There are two melodies that alternate with this clock after the cuckoo calls on the full hour- Edelweiss and Happy Wanderer.
Chalet cuckoo clocks are the most common type of cuckoo clock, and are often shaped as alpine houses that represent life in the mountain regions of Europe (mainly around Southern Germany, 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 particular clock features automaton that include the hunter raising his stick, the water wheel which spins gently, and the dancers who spin around the balcony when the music plays.
This beautifully designed clock by HÖNES is a charming timepiece, suitable for those looking for a quality cuckoo clock using carving methods that have been practised for hundreds of years.
Take A Closer Look At The Clock
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.
