A Bavarian Chalet Cuckoo Clock

Looking for a cuckoo clock that offers attention to detail, lots of colour & moving elements? Why not consider this charming 8 Day Mechanical Chalet Cuckoo Clock designed by world renowned clock makers HÖNES from the Black Forest in Germany, where the company was established in 1950.

This delightful clock portrays a delightful scene in the Bavarian countryside, featuring a multi-level chalet with a unique facade, proudly displaying both the flag of Bavaria as the window shutters. Chalet cuckoo clocks are the most common type of cuckoo clock, and are often shaped as alpine houses that represent life in the mountain regions of Europe (mainly around Southern Germany, Switzerland and Austria). Out the front of the chalet and to the right are two men sitting at a table enjoying a beer and a pretzel, whilst a beer maid is carrying them some more beers from the Biergarten to the side of the chalet. Additional details out the front of the chalet include a table with steins, some stacked kegs against the chalet, a water wheel, a large tree and a fence with some flowers. This fascinating scene also includes a clock dial in the centre of the chalet, and a number of hand painted details including Bavarian style window shutters and flowers in the windowsills. Directly above the clock dial are colourful dancers on a balcony below the cuckoo bird. This unique clock also features a timber pendulum that hangs below the clock itself, alongside the weights, rounding out the fascinating scene.

This particular clock runs on an 8 day mechanism, and therefore needs to be wound once a week simply by pulling the weights. The in-built cuckoo of this clock calls the time each hour and once at half past, with an automatic night shut off to allow you a sound sleep before recommencing again the next morning. There are two melodies that alternate after the cuckoo calls on the full hour- Edelweiss and Happy Wanderer. The automaton (moving elements) for this clock include the beer drinkers who raise their steins; the beer maid who brings the men more beers, the water wheel which turns, and the dancers on the balcony who twirl when the music plays after the cuckoo calls.

This beautifully designed clock by HÖNES is a charming timepiece, suitable for those looking for a quality cuckoo clock using carving methods that have been practised for hundreds of years.

Take A Closer Look At The Clock

 

Benefits of a Mechanical Cuckoo Clock

Black Forest mechanical cuckoo clocks are weight driven and are available in two different movements:

  • 1 Day Movement - you wind the clock by pulling the chain and winding the weights once a day
  • 8 Day Movement - you wind the clock by pulling the chain and winding the weights once a week

Each mechanical cuckoo clock will have either two or three weights; two weights for cuckoo only and three weights for cuckoo and music. One weight runs the clock movement and hands that show the time and the second weight drives the cuckoo calling mechanism. The cuckoo sound is produced using bellows that push air through two whistles creating the 'cook' and 'coo' sounds respectively. If you choose to also have music with your mechanical cuckoo clock, the third weight drives a traditional mechanical music box movement with a pinned cylinder that plucks notes on a 'comb' to produce a melody.

Hand Crafted in the Black Forest, Germany

This genuine cuckoo clock is hand crafted in the Black Forest region of Germany by artisan clock makers HÖNES.

For true and authentic German Black Forest clocks, many people have come to rely on the quality and craftsmanship of the HÖNES name. HÖNES offers more than 70 years of experience with creating beautiful, high quality clocks.

Using only highly skilled and talented woodcarvers, HÖNES ensures that each clock creation is exceptionally built. From the design to the details, HÖNES cuckoo clocks have an elegance and beauty that is typical of all Black Forest clockmakers.
