Man chops log at the top of every hour while the cuckoo cuckoos
Hand-carved deer and trees
Sloping roof with chimney
Wind once per day by pulling the chains
Manual night shut off switch
This Black Forest cuckoo clock showcases a man that chops wood, several hand-carved trees, and a feeding deer.
On the top of every hour the cuckoo clock cuckoos while the man chops a log with his axe. (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 and one short chop. There is also a manual night shut off switch that allows you to mute the cuckoo sound and stop the woodchopper.
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 woodchopper.
*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.
