A Delightful Chalet Cuckoo Clock

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

Measuring 30cm* in height, this delightful clock portrays a delightful scene in the Bavarian countryside, featuring a multi-level timber chalet, and roof. 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 having a laugh, whilst their trusty dog stands watch nearby. Additional details out the front of the chalet include a water wheel, a fence with some flowers and a couple of large carved trees that help to set the scene perfectly. This fascinating scene also includes a clock dial in the centre of the chalet, and a number of hand painted details including 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.

Chalet style cuckoo clocks are the most famous and common type of cuckoo clock, and are often featured in the shape of alpine houses. They usually feature carvings that represent life in the mountain regions of Europe (mainly around Southern Germany, The Black Forest, Switzerland and Austria). 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 clock includes the beer drinkers, the water wheel and the dancers which moves as the music plays.

The in-built cuckoo of this clock calls the time each hour, with an automatic night shut off that is controlled by a light sensor. When the room is dark enough the cuckoo will no longer sound, allowing you a sound sleep before recommencing as the room lights up again the next morning.

This cuckoo clock comes with an option of 12 different melodies that rotate each hour including: 

• Music Box Dancer
• Muss I Denn Zum (Wooden Heart)
• Lara's Theme - Dr Zhivago
• Mühle im Schwarzwald (Black Forest Mill)
• Barcarole
• Ich weiss nicht, was soll es bedeuten (The Lorelei)
• Oh My Papa
• Fröhlicher Wanderer (Happy Wanderer)
• Que Sera
• Edelweiss
• Für Elise (Pour Elise)
• Clementine

Benefits of a Quartz Battery Operated Cuckoo Clock

Quartz cuckoo clocks operate differently to mechanical cuckoo clocks. Quartz simply means the clock movement is battery operated. One benefit of a quartz operated cuckoo clock is that they are easier to manage and more hands off than a traditional mechanical cuckoo clock, as they do not require to be wound, and often feature ornamental or decorative weights and chains. 

Quartz cuckoo clocks are available with or without music; the models that come with music play 12 different tunes that alternate each hour. Some models feature the sound of a real cuckoo bird in a forest environment. 

Most quartz cuckoo clocks feature a light sensor for automatic night shut off to automatically mute any sound when the room gets dark.
