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.

'Tris' Cuckoo Clock (White, Grey & Black) by Progetti

'Three Musketeers', 'Three little pigs', 'Three blind mice', 'Three French hens' - so many good things come in threes. So it's no surprise that a cuckoo clock dedicated to the number three is a delight to behold. 

Meet the ‘Tris’ Cuckoo Clock by Progetti, and the latest from their range of modern cuckoo clocks. As the name suggests, ‘Tris’ is comprised of three cylinders, each in a different hue. This clock is available in three different colour combinations - warm shades of orange/red, a neutral shade of white, black and grey, and a cool combination of blues. Each cylinder is made of varnished wood and plastic and has its own individual function: the first contains the cuckoo mechanism, the second contains the hands which are always white and the last emphasises the number 3 which indicates the hour but also reinforces the trio concept.

The battery powered movement has a photosensitive sensor that automatically turns off the cuckoo sound in the absence of light. It also has a switch to regulate the volume of the cuckoo sound or to switch it off completely.

All Progetti cuckoo clocks are fitted with an Engstler™ clock & cuckoo mechanism which is custom built by the Engstler cuckoo clock manufacturer in the Black Forest region, Germany. Their craftsmanship ensures your cuckoo clock works as wonderfully as the world-famous traditional cuckoo clocks of the Black Forest region.
