Man saws wood at the top of every hour
Hand-carved cuckoo clock case and tree
Cuckoo bird cuckoos the hour at the top of every hour
Wind once per day by pulling the chains
Manual night shut off switch
This authentic Black Forest cuckoo clock displays a man sawing wood. The clock case is decorated with a hand-carved tree, foliage, and a wood pile.
On every hour the man moves the saw back and forth across the log as the cuckoo bird cuckoos the hour. (Example: At one o'clock the bird will cuckoo once. At eight o'clock the bird will cuckoo eight times). The half hour is announced with one cuckoo call. There is also a manual night shut off switch that allows you to mute the cuckoo sound and stop the man sawing.
Two cast iron pine cone weights are suspended beneath the clock case by two separate brass chains. The hand-made pendulum continously swings back and forth controlling the timing of the clock.
The 30 hour all brass mechanical Regula movement is wound once per day by raising the two pine cone weights. One weight powers the time and the other weight powers the cuckoo, cuckoo call, and the man sawing the wood.
*Great effort has been made to portray each cuckoo clock as accurately as possible. As with many handmade items, the exact coloration and carving may vary slightly from clock to clock. We consider this to be a special part of their character. This clock is covered by a two year limited warranty covering workmanship and manufacturers defects.
