A Delightful Cuckoo Clock

This delightful 8 Day Mechanical Chalet Cuckoo Clock was created by German designer HEKAS, who has been producing high quality cuckoo clocks in the heart of the Black Forest since 1938.

Measuring 33cm*, this traditional chalet style cuckoo clock portrays the scene of an alpine chalet in the mountainous woodlands of Germany & Switzerland. The chalet itself features a timber facade, a wooden clock dial and handpainted details including window shutters and flowers in the windowsill. The most fascinating aspect of this clock is the addition of a beer drinker out the front of the chalet sitting at a table wearing a traditional Tirol hat, while his loyal dog stands guard nearby. Rounding out this unique clock is a timber pendulum that hangs below the clock itself, alongside the weights. This particular chalet also features 3 Edelweiss flowers on the chalet. The white, star-shaped Edelweiss flower is unique to the Alps - mainly Alpine Germany, Austria and Switzerland. Its name means β€œNoble White” and represents strength and toughness because it survived the harshest winters at very, very high altitudes. It also represents a symbol for bravery, courage and love.

Chalet cuckoo clocks are the most famous and common type of cuckoo clock, and are often shaped as alpine houses and feature carvings that represent life in the mountain region of Europe (mainly around Southern Germany, Switzerland and Austria). The in-built cuckoo of this beautiful clock calls the full time each hour and once on the half hour. The clock also features a manual night shut off mode that is enabled by lifting and pulling a lever. Chalet style cuckoo clocks can range from simple arrangements of carved features to very detailed scenes with many moving parts (known as automaton). The particular automaton for this cuckoo clock includes the beer drinker and the cuckoo bird. This delightful clock needs to be wound once a week and does not come with music.

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

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.
