Owls & Leaves 8 Day Mechanical Chalet Cuckoo Clock With Hooting Owl Call 36cm By ROMBA

​Features A Hooting Owl For The Cuckoo Call

Looking for a cuckoo clock that offers something a little bit different from the rest? Why not consider this charming 8 Day Mechanical Chalet Cuckoo Clock designed by world renowned clock makers ROMBA from the Black Forest in Germany, where the company was established in 1894.

Measuring 36cm in height*, this impressive clock has extensive hand carved features, including an extravagant pair of owls at the base of the clock underneath the clock dial, a feature that instantly draws the eye. The entire clock is framed by beautiful carved foliage which adorns the clock. The clock also features a wooden clock dial, and a timber pendulum that hangs below the clock itself, along with the weights. A chalet style roof sits at the crown of the piece, with individual hand laid shingles, with the cuckoo door directly below it. Perhaps the most fascinating feature of this clock is that instead of a cuckoo bird which is normally featured on most cuckoo clocks, this piece instead features an owl. All aspects of this clock have been hand carved with high attention to detail easily apparent.

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 owl of this clock hoots the time each hour and once at half past, with a manual night shut off function should that be preferred. There is no music with this clock.

This fascinating clock offers a unique take on the traditional cuckoo clock and would be a fantastic collectors item for the avid owl lover.

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.
