A Clock With Deep & Colourful Carvings

Looking for a cuckoo clock that offers deep & detailed carvings along with a splash of colour? Why not consider this charming 8 Day Mechanical Chalet Cuckoo Clock designed by world renowned clock makers HÖNES from the Black Forest in Germany, where the company was established in 1950. 

Measuring 50cm in height*, this impressive hand-carved clock features a clock peddler on the right, and a lady on the left dressed in traditional Black Forest attire. The story of the clock peddler dates back hundreds of years where the artisans would spend long winters crafting cuckoo clocks, then travel far and wide in the spring to sell their unique creations. Today the clock peddler is celebrated as a prominent symbol of the successes that the cuckoo clock industry has seen throughout the years, and are often symbolised in many cuckoo clock designs, paying homage to artisans from a time long since past. Surrounding the clock peddler and the lady are a number of carved fir trees that stand tall - such detailed forest foliage frames the clock perfectly. The base of the clock is another feature that has been heavily hand carved, with the overall timepiece finished in an antique walnut colour.

The clock also features a timber facade and a chalet style roof, with individual hand laid wooden shingles, along with a wooden clock dial in the centre of the piece, and a timber pendulum that hangs below the clock itself, alongside the weights. Rounding out this fascinating timepiece are colourful dancers dressed in traditional Black Forest clothing situated on a balcony above the clock dial. This particular clock runs on an 8 day mechanism, and therefore needs to be wound once a week simply by pulling the weights. The in-built cuckoo of this clock calls the time each hour and once at half past, and the particular automaton (moving parts) for this clock include the dancers on the balcony who twirl when the music plays after the cuckoo calls. There are two melodies that alternate with this clock after the cuckoo calls on the full hour- Edelweiss and Happy Wanderer.

Perhaps the most fascinating feature of this stunning timepiece is the clock peddler and Black Forest lady, along with the dancers who have been hand painted, and add a hint of colour to the overall timepiece.

This beautifully designed clock by HÖNES is a charming timepiece, suitable for those looking for a quality traditional cuckoo clock that has been produced with the same 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.
