A Highly Detailed Chalet Cuckoo Clock
This charming Battery Chalet Cuckoo Clock By ENGSTLER represents a fine example of a genuine, high quality hand-crafted Black Forest cuckoo clock, produced from Schwarzwald in Germany, a region otherwise known as the Black Forest.
Measuring 42cm in height*, this endearing chalet style cuckoo clock portrays the scene of a multi-level alpine chalet in the mountainous woodlands of Germany. The chalet features a colourful scene that includes a tree, a water wheel, a wood chopper as well as a bell tower above the clock dial, in addition to colourful dancers situated on a balcony above the clock dial. Chalet cuckoo clocks are the most famous and common type of cuckoo clock, and are often shaped as alpine houses and feature carvings that represent life in the mountain region 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). The particular automaton for this cuckoo clock include the wood chopper, dancers and water wheel moving when the music plays.
The in-built cuckoo of this beautiful clock calls the time each hour, with anautomatic night-time 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 particular chalet cuckoo clock also features optional music with 12 different traditional melodies.
This beautifully designed clock by ENGSTLER is a charming timepiece, suitable for those looking for a quartz battery cuckoo clock that is reliable at keeping time, whilst keeping in design features using carving methods that have been practised for hundreds of years.
This cuckoo clock comes with an option of 12 different melodies that rotate each hour including:
- Cuckoo waltz
- Bavarian country trader
- Mill in the Black Forest
- Wood chopper
- Happy hiker
- Drink, brother, drink
- There is a Hofbräuhaus in Munich
- For Elise
- Lorelei
- Home sweet home
- Clementine
- Salut d'amour
Take A Closer Look At The Clock
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.
