Product Review
Product Description
This traditionally styled German cuckoo clock features wooden hands, a wood dial with Roman numerals, and a warm light yellow hand-painted and hand-carved cuckoo bird. The cuckoo clock case is surrounded by five deeply carved maple leaves with a single hand-carved bird seated at the peak of the roof. Two cast iron pine cone weights are suspended beneath the clock case by two separate brass chains. The hand-carved maple leaf pendulum continuously swings back and forth which controls the timing of the clock. If your cuckoo clock's timing should ever need adjustment, you can control the speed of your clock by sliding the maple leaf up or down the pendulum stick. Sliding the maple leaf down causes the cuckoo clock to run slightly slower, while sliding the maple leaf up makes the cuckoo clock run slightly faster. On every hour the cuckoo bird emerges from a swinging door above the clock dial and counts the hour by cuckooing once per hour. (Example: At one o'clock the bird will cuckoo once. At eight o'clock the bird will cuckoo eight times) The half hour is announced with one cuckoo call. The 30 hour all brass mechanical Regula movement, which is produced in the Black Forest of Germany, is wound once per day by raising the two pine cone weights. One weight powers the time and the other weight powers the cuckoo and cuckoo call. Great effort has been made to portray each cuckoo clock as accurately as possible. As with many handmade items, the exact coloration and carving may vary slightly from clock to clock. We consider this to be a special part of their character.

Got this for my wife for Christmas and she absolutely loves it. The craftsmanship is incredible, it keeps time very well, and it's an authentic Black Forest Cuckoo Clock.

The only con, and it's a very small gripe, is there is a bright-green sticker on the side of the clock that doesn't come off easily and is very noticable.

If you're looking for a "real cuckoo clock" that won't break the bank, this is the clock for you. There's no electronics, no batteries, just good old clockwork, the way a cuckoo clock is supposed to be.

Yes you have to wind it everyday & yes its not exactly a precision timepiece. NASA won't be calling to ask the time but that's part of the charm of this clock. Its brimming with personality.

Note that the weights & chains hang a full six feet below the clock so bare that in mind when choosing a location to display this little gem. Also note that it cuckoos twice an hour, all day & all night. There's really no practical way to turn it off at night so this might not be for everyone. Personally I don't notice it when I'm asleep even though my bed is well within earshot of the clock.

This makes a great gift & will add some old world charm to any house. I find myself often standing in front of it, waiting for the bird to come out & sing. Even after...Read more

This review is from: One Day Cuckoo Clock with Five Maple Leaves & One Bird
I am currently in Switzerland on a business trip, and had a request from someone to buy him a cuckoo clock (cuckoo clocks today are more German, but their origins are actually swiss, and some are still made in Switzerland ... though not this one).

After looking at about 100 clocks in a clock shop (not too touristy - so not completely overpriced), I selected this one. I am certain it is the same clock. All the details are the same, down to the specifics of the mechanics.

This is the one I bought. And it cost about 20% more than the current amazon price. Amazon is LESS expensive than buying it in Europe.

I bought it as the gift for a number of reasons

1. Some of the clocks were painted with dancing people and boys chopping wood. That's not the style of the person I'm shopping for. This is more classic and less cutesy

2. There was a huge difference in the quality of the "cuckoo" you hear. There are some that sound...Read more
