Before The Hunt 8 Day Mechanical Carved Cuckoo Clock 54cm By ENGSTLER

A Traditional Cuckoo Clock Design

This traditional Before The Hunt 8 Day Mechanical Carved Cuckoo Clock By ENGSTLER represents a fine example of a genuine, high quality hand-crafted Black Forest cuckoo clock, produced from Schwarzwald in Germany, a region otherwise known as the Black Forest. 

Measuring 54cm in height*, this beautifully hand-carved clock features a stag head carving crowning a traditional hunting scene. Hunting scenes often feature a hare and a pheasant and 2 rifles hanging from the head of the clock. Additional details to complete the hunting scene includes a powder bag at the base of the clock as well as a horn that surrounds the dial. Beautiful oak foliage also adorns the clock, rounding out this fantastic hunting scene.

The in-built cuckoo of this beautiful clock calls the time each hour and once at half past, with a melody that follows each hour. It also features a manual shut-off mode that is enabled by lifting and pulling a lever.

This beautifully designed clock by ENGSTLER is a charming timepiece, suitable for those looking for a quality traditional wind up 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.
