Alpine Goats & Edelweiss Flowers 8 Day Mechanical Carved Cuckoo Clock 38cm By HÖNES

Features A Flower Of Significance

Attention to detail is easily evident with 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 36cm in height*, this beautifully hand-carved clock features a goat carving at the crown of the clock, along with an arrangement of leaves adorning the clock body. A similar design of a bird with 5 leaves is a popular style which is commonly featured as a cuckoo clock design, though this particular design instead features four large Edelweiss flowers around the frame of the clock, with additional goats at the base of the clock. The white star-shaped Edelweiss flower is unique to the alps, mainly of Germany, Austria and Switzerland. Its name means 'Noble White' and represents strength, toughness, bravery and courage. This is because the flower survives the harshest winters at very high altitudes. Rounding out this unique clock is a wooden clock dial and timber pendulum that hangs below the clock itself, alongside the weights. All aspects of this clock have been hand carved with high attention to detail easily apparent.

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, 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.
