Original & Timeless Design
This beautiful 8 Day Mechanical Carved Cuckoo Clock was carved by German designer HÖNES from the Black Forest in Germany, where the company was established in 1950.
Measuring 48cm in height*, this unique clock features a bird carving at the crown of the clock along with an arrangement of 5 ornamental leaves adorning the clock’s body, a very famous and traditional element for cuckoo clock designs, making up one of the most popular styles of cuckoo clock carvings today. The design of a frame of leaves is also commonly crowned with a carved deer head, however this particular clock instead features a bird. The ornamental leaves around the front of the clock surround a wooden clock dial, with the overall appearance rounded out with a timber pendulum that hangs below the clock, alongside the weights. Perhaps the most fascinating feature of this timepiece is the addition of two carved birds, one on either side of the clock dial.
The in-built cuckoo of this beautiful clock calls the time each hour and once at half past, with a manual shut-off mode that can be enabled at any time, should that be preferred. This particular clock runs on an 8 day mechanism, and therefore needs to be wound once a week simply by pulling the weights. There is no music with this clock.
This beautifully designed clock by HÖNES represents a charming timepiece, suitable for those looking for a quality traditional cuckoo clock that has been carved using methods that have been practised for hundreds of years.
