Moving Birds 8 Day Mechanical Carved Cuckoo Clock 40cm By HÖNES

A Unique Design That Features Moving Birds

Looking for a cuckoo clock that offers something a little bit different from the rest? Why not consider this charming 8 Day Mechanical Carved Cuckoo Clock designed by world renowned clock makers HÖNES from the Black Forest in Germany, where the company was established in 1950.

Measuring 40cm in height*, this unique clock has been carved out of Linden Wood, sourced from the Black Forest. It features a bird carving at the crown of the clock along with an arrangement of ornamental leaves adorning the clock’s body, a very famous and traditional element for cuckoo clock designs. The design of a frame of leaves is also commonly crowned with a carved deer head, however this particular clock instead features a bird. The ornamental leaves around the front of the clock surround a wooden clock dial, with two birds positioned below the clock dial, one on either side, facing each other, with a nest below them. Rounding out this timepiece is a timber pendulum that hangs below the clock, alongside the weights. Perhaps the most fascinating feature of this cuckoo clock is that the two birds move as though they are feeding chicks in the nest, a feature known as automaton (moving parts).

The in-built cuckoo of this beautiful clock calls the time each hour and once at half past, with a manual shut-off mode that can be enabled at any time by a switch, should that be preferred. This particular clock runs on an 8 day mechanism, and therefore needs to be wound once a week simply by pulling the weights. There is no music with this clock. 

This beautifully designed clock by HÖNES represents a charming timepiece, suitable for those looking for a quality traditional cuckoo clock that has been carved using 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.
