A Hand Crafted Black Forest Cuckoo Clock

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

Measuring in 27cm height*, this endearing chalet style cuckoo clock portrays the scene of an alpine chalet in the mountainous woodlands of Germany with a unique timber facade. The chalet features a colourful scene that includes two trees, a water wheel and a blacksmith outside the chalet in addition to a water trough. Chalet cuckoo clocks are the most famous and common type of cuckoo clock, and are often shaped as alpine houses and feature carvings that represent life in the mountain region of Europe (mainly around Southern Germany, 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 automaton for this particular clock include the blacksmith and the water wheel that move when the music plays.

Additional details on this fascinating cuckoo clock include hand painted window shutters and flowers in the windowsill. This particular chalet design also features 2 Edelweiss flowers on the chalet. 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 because it survived the harshest winters at very, very high altitudes. It also represents a symbol for bravery, courage and love. This clock is finished with a wooden clock dial, lovely timber pendulum and carved wooden weights to round out the charming scene.

The in-built cuckoo of this beautiful clock calls the time each hour, with an automatic night-time 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.
