Frequently Asked Questions:

  • What is a quartz movement cuckoo clock?

    Quartz movement just means 'battery powered'. Unlike mechanical 1-day and 8-day clocks, a quartz movement clock doesn't need to be manually wound and instead will always work until the battery runs out (on most models it takes roughly one year for the battery to drain although this can differ depending on the model). The quartz power runs the time-keeping as well as the cuckoo bird sound/movement. On some models it also powers the movement of dancers, music, water wheel, and other animations etc. We generally recommend quartz movement cuckoo clocks for people who might forget to wind their clocks or who want a hassle free option. 

  • 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 unique chalet cuckoo clock is made by the talented team of Black Forest cuckoo clockmakers 'Trenkle Uhren' in Simonswald, Germany. They specialise in quartz-battery cuckoo clocks and this piece is a beautiful representation of their work. 

Upon the hour, the cuckoo bird animates from its little door to 'cuckoo' in the hours with an echo. The clock has a battery operated movement with automatic night-off and it runs, under normal circumstances, for approximately a year before the batteries need to be replaced. The size refers only to the clock, without pendulum and weights.
