Wall clock - Wood - 1990-2000 - Cuco Selva Madre

It’s a cuckoo clock from the late 20th century, made of wood and following that Central European tradition that blends meticulous craftsmanship with a nearly theatrical sense of the domestic object. The wood — from honeysuckle, according to what you indicate — provides a warm, fibrous texture, with that natural tone that ages well and allows for carving soft volumes and fine details. In this case, the artisan has worked the front with leaves, birds and reliefs that evoke the Alpine forest, a imagery closely tied to Swiss folk clockmaking.

The design retains the classic structure of the cuckoo clock: a pronounced gable, a small bird at the top, the dial with Roman numerals and the pinecone-shaped weights, which here function more as an aesthetic wink than as a mechanical element, because the heart of the clock is a quartz mechanism. That technological choice is typical of the late decades of the 20th century: precision, minimal maintenance and a coexistence between traditional appearance and modern functionality.

The result is an object that blends nostalgia and practicality. On the outside, it looks like a traditional cuckoo clock, with its naturalistic language and decorative presence; inside, the silent reliability of quartz beats. It’s a piece designed to accompany the home with a touch of Alpine charm, without demanding the care of old mechanisms.
