AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
This is a traditional cuckoo clock (German: Kuckucksuhr), characterized by a house-shaped case in Swiss chalet style or from the Black Forest region (German: Schwarzwald) in Germany. These clocks are recognizable by their unique features:
Structure and operation
Cabin-style: The casing is intricately carved in wood, reminiscent of a rural house, with rich decorations such as lumberjack figurines, animals (like the little goat) and botanical motifs.
Weight mechanism: Many traditional models, including this one with visible weights shaped like pine cones hanging on chains, operate on a weight-driven mechanism. Winding the chains (lifting the pine cones) powers the clock, once a day.
Cuckoo: At set times—every half hour and every hour—from small doors at the top, a mechanical bird (a cuckoo) emerges and makes the characteristic 'cuckoo' sound, announcing the time.
Origin: Although often associated with Switzerland, the homeland of mechanical cuckoo clocks is the Black Forest region in Germany, where they began to be produced in the early 18th century.
