200 Year Old Black Forest Farmhouse Wood 8 Day Mechanical Cuckoo Clock By ROMBA

​Wood From A 200 Year Old Black Forest Farmhouse

This truly unique item was created by ROMBA from the Black Forest in Germany, where the company was established in 1894.

This impressive clock utilises the reclaimed wood from a Black Forest farm house from the year 1800! This solid antique wood makes up the main feature item of this cuckoo clock. Additional details to complete the overall minimalistic design include the clock hands, and the cuckoo bird. There are no numbers on this clock, nor is there a cuckoo door for the cuckoo bird. The wooden tile provides the main feature item, which is truly designed to be a talking piece for any room that it is displayed in. Rounding out this unique clock is a timber pendulum that hangs below the clock itself, alongside the weights.

This particular clock is 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, with a manual night shut off function should that be preferred. There is no music with this clock.

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.
