Rocking Horse 8 Day Mechanical Chalet Cuckoo Clock 32cm By SCHNEIDER

A Traditional Cuckoo Clock Design By SCHNEIDER

This chalet cuckoo clock is a genuine, high quality hand-crafted Black Forest cuckoo clock, produced by clock makers Anton Schneider from Schonach in the Black Forest region of Germany.

Measuring 32cm in height*, this chalet style cuckoo clock portrays the scene of a chalet in Germany. The chalet itself features a girl, and boy on a rocking horse out the front of the chalet amongst a couple of fir trees. Additional features of the chalet itself include a hand laid roof with individual wooden shingles, and a half timbered chalet facade. This fascinating scene also includes a wooden clock dial in the centre of the chalet, and hand painted details including window shutters and flowers in the windowsills. Rounding out this unique clock is a timber pendulum that hangs below the clock itself, alongside the weights. The clock has been designed with a beautiful walnut finish that is sure to suit a number of spaces.

The particular automaton for this cuckoo clock includes the rocking horse, which moves when the cuckoo calls, providing a visual delight. The in-built cuckoo of this beautiful clock calls the full time each hour and once on the half hour, with a manual override to silence the cuckoo altogether should that be preferred. This delightful clock needs to be wound once a week, and does not feature any music.

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.
