Frequently Asked Questions:

  • What does 'night-time shutoff' or 'light sensor' mean?

    Most cuckoo clocks (either mechanical or battery powered) come with 'night-time shutoff' in either a manual or 'light sensor' variety. This just means that both varieties enable you to control when the clock makes sounds.

    Mechanical cuckoo clocks have a manual 'night-time shutoff' which are usually a lever with 2 positions - sound on or sound off. 

    Battery powered cuckoo clocks usually come with an automatic 'night-time shutoff' otherwise known as a light sensor which detects light levels and disables sound when the lights are off or it is very dark. While some include volume levels as well as sound on/off positions, some models also include an option to stop the sound between the hours of 9:00pm and 8:00am.

This beautiful carved 8-day cuckoo clock is crafted by renowned cuckoo clock manufacturer 'Hubert Herr' in the Black Forest, Germany

Design & Music

Beautifully crafted out of wood sourced locally from the Black Forest in Germany, this charming cuckoo clock comes adorned with a large hand-carved eagle with outstretched wings, a husband and wife couple, both dressed in traditional country attire - the woman with a wooden rake and fruit basket, and the man with a wood axe - and also hand-painted moving Glockenspiel dancers that twirl and rotate through the two arches and an array of beautiful hand-carved oak leaves. 

This traditional carved cuckoo clock also comes complete with it's own small painted cuckoo bird which, upon the hour, animates from behind it's little door and sings it's 'cuckoo' for the corresponding number of hours. It then plays a short melody, either 'Edelweiss' or 'Happy Wanderer', whilst the tiny dancers revolve and twirl through the two archwaysThis sound can be switched off at any time using a manual lever. 

This 8-day movement carved cuckoo clock is perfect for adding some rustic charm and a splash of colour and life to any living room, hallway or study.

This clock features:

    • Moving cuckoo bird which moves out from behind it's door and chimes with it’s ’cuckoo' sound for each hour on the hour. 
    • Moving dancers that animate during the melody after the cuckoo bird chimes.
    • Moving pendulum that sways side-to-side.
    • Manual night-time sound shut-off lever.
    • 8-day movement (which means it needs to be wound manually every eight days).
    • Equipped with a German brass rack-strike movement by Hubert Herr which keeps perfect time as long as the clock is wound.
    • Swiss made music box which plays one of two different popular traditional melodies ('Edelweiss' or 'Happy Wanderer') upon the hour (comes with manual sound shut-off).
    • This clock features an extra thick solid wood case, for extra stability.
    • Solid cast-iron 'pine-cone-shaped' weights. 

    Movement

        This cuckoo clock has 8-day movement meaning approximately every eight days the clock needs to be manually wound. The act of winding the cuckoo clock is very easy and only requires someone to gently pull on the chains so that the weights are drawn back to their utmost position. Gravity does the rest and ensures the clock can be kept perfectly on time as the weight lowers and slowly pulls the chain back through the clock-work mechanism.
