Alphorn Battery Chalet Cuckoo Clock 22cm By TRENKLE

A Traditional Scene From The Mountains Of Germany

This quaint Battery Chalet Cuckoo Clock By TRENKLE represents a fine example of a genuine, high quality hand-crafted Black Forest cuckoo clock, produced by artisan clock makers TRENKLE from Simonswald in the Black Forest region of Germany.

Measuring 22cm in height*, this pleasing chalet style cuckoo clock portrays the colourful scene of a small alpine chalet in the mountainous woodlands in Germany. The chalet features a shepherd using an alphorn, a traditional long horn tool used by shepherds and villagers in Germany & Switzerland for a variety of purporses including to call cows in from pastures and into the barn, as well as for meetings. In addition to the shepherd, there is also a dog out the front of the chalet in front of the wooden clock dial.

Chalet cuckoo clocks are the most famous and common type of cuckoo clocks and are often shaped as alpine houses, featuring details that represent life in the mountain regions of Europe (around southern Germany, Switzerland and Austria). This particular clock also has handpainted features on the chalet including the window shutters and 2 Edelweiss flowers. The white, star-shaped Edelweiss flower is unique to the alps- mainly Alpine Germany, Austria and Switzerland. Its name means "Noble White", and represents strength and toughness, bravery and courage. This is because this flower survives the harshest winters at very high altitudes. Chalet style cuckoo clocks can range from simple arrangements of crafted features to very detailed scenes with many moving parts, commonly referred to as automaton.

The in-built cuckoo of this clock calls the time each hour, with a permanent 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. There is also a manual override to silence the cuckoo altogether should that be preferred. There is no music with this clock.

This delightful timepiece by TRENKLE is suitable for those looking for a quality cuckoo clock using methods that have been practised for hundreds of years. With its playful design, this particular clock would be well suited for a childs bedroom.

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.
