63cm Walnut 8 Day Mechanical Striking Wall Clock With Dumpling Eater By ROMBA

Exclusive To The Clock Shop - The Last Of Its Kind

Nothing says a unique design quite like this high quality traditional wall clock, designed by world class clock makers ROMBA from the Black Forest in Germany, where the company was established in 1894.

Measuring 63cm* in height, this beautiful 'Dumpling Eater' wall clock is a certified German authentic replica of a Black Forest clock dating back to the early 19th century, a time when a variety of animated figures were used before the cuckoo bird became popular. Bell ringing monks, laughing faces, beer drinkers and dumpling eaters were just some of the fine examples used for these early cuckoo clock versions. The hand carved and hand painted dumpling eater chews his dumplings, counting each gong strike on the hour and once on the half hour. With moving eyes, arm and an open mouth, watch in fascination as he feeds himself a dumpling on each gong strike. An enamel dial and antique brass weights add charm and character to this amazing and truly unique timepiece.

This exquisite clock also features a high quality 8 day running mechanism, meaning the clock only needs to be wound once every 8 days. This clock also features a manual night time shut off function which is enabled by lifting and pulling a lever.

This beautifully designed clock by ROMBA is aesthetically pleasing and represents an accurate timepiece, suitable for those looking for a traditional wall clock that is reliable at keeping time.

Why Choose A Traditional Wall Clock?

Both elegant and timeless in design, traditional wall clocks add a touch of nostalgia and old world charm, and can make a beautiful addition to any room in your home. Crafted with attention to detail, these elegant timepieces commonly feature impressive walnut, cherry & brass finishings, where the overall design style and craftsmanship hasn't changed much over the centuries. Whilst many of these beautiful designs offer an alternative to the more modern and contemporary round wall or office clocks that are commonplace today, some designers are producing more modern looking traditional wall clocks, offering a fresh take on a classic design to better suit the modern space.
