Railroad House Battery Cuckoo Clock 35cm By TRENKLE
Dimensions
Height: 35.0cm
An Antique Design
Immaculate attention to detail is easily apparent with this Battery Carved Cuckoo Clock designed by world renowed clock makers Trenkle from the Black Forest in Germany.
Measuring 35cm in height*, this impressive clock showcases the design of a railroad house, otherwise known as BahnhΓ€usleuhr in German, which resembles an important milestone in the history of Black Forest Clock Making. The design came to be in the mid 18th century, by Friedrich Eisenlohr, an architect for a railroad company, who was inspired by the houses of railroad gatekeepers. This vintage reproduction is a bold design, and features deep and detailed carvings in the wood -including delicate ivy leaf foliage adorning the exterior of the design, mimicking the design of the real life plant. These detailed carvings provide a perfect alternative to the bold straight carvings that make up the house architecture itself, and the chalet style roof.
Station House cuckoo clocks are impressive by their very nature and this ornate design is no exception. Perhaps the most striking feature of this clock is the walnut stained finish to give it a truly traditional appearance to accentuate the intricate detail on the overall piece.
Additional details to complete the overall design feature include the wooden clock dial with easy to read roman numerals and hands which are also made from wood. Rounding out this unique clock is a timber pendulum that hangs below the clock itself, alongside the decorative weights.
The in-built cuckoo of this beautiful clock calls the time each hour through a door that opens, with an option of 12 different melodies that rotate each hour. The music can be turned off via a switch if preferred.
This beautifully designed clock by TRENKLE is a charming timepiece, suitable for those looking for a quality traditional battery cuckoo clock using carving methods that have been practised for hundreds of years.
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.
