River City Clocks Handcrafted Cuckoo Clock - 9 Inches Tall

This traditionally styled German cuckoo clock is a remarkable piece of craftsmanship, featuring a range of intricate details that showcase the exceptional skills of its creators. The clock case is surrounded by five deeply carved maple leaves, with a single hand-carved bird seated at the peak of the roof, adding a charming touch to the overall design.

At the heart of this timepiece is the 30-hour all brass mechanical Regula movement, which is produced in the Black Forest of Germany and is wound once per day by raising the two cast iron pine cone weights. One weight powers the time, while the other weight powers the cuckoo and its accompanying call.

The wooden hands, wood dial with Roman numerals, and the warm light yellow hand-painted and hand-carved cuckoo bird all contribute to the clock's traditional aesthetic. The hand-carved maple leaf pendulum swings continuously back and forth, controlling the timing of the clock.

If the timing of the cuckoo clock ever needs adjustment, the speed of the clock can be easily controlled by sliding the maple leaf up or down the pendulum stick. Sliding the maple leaf down causes the clock to run slightly slower, while sliding it up makes the clock run slightly faster.

On the hour, the cuckoo bird emerges from a swinging door above the clock dial and announces the time with a series of cuckoo calls, one for each hour. The half-hour is marked with a single cuckoo call, adding to the charming auditory experience.

Great effort has been made to ensure that each cuckoo clock is as accurate as possible in its representation. However, as with many handmade items, the exact coloration and carving may vary slightly from clock to clock, which is considered a special part of their character.

This cuckoo clock is a testament to the skilled craftsmanship of the master artisans in the Black Forest of Germany. The hand-carved details, the traditional design, and the reliable mechanical movement all come together to create a truly captivating timepiece that can be enjoyed for years to come.
