Combining the design of the earlier Rahmenuhr (Framed Clock) with the Bahnhäusle (Railroad House), these clocks were very popular circa 1854. This clock takes the progression one step further by combining the beautiful, hand-painted Black Forest scene with the Chalet style. This intricate carving shows grape vines and leaves surrounding a Black Forest cottage with a pair of birds and their nest of eggs.
This particular clock is made in very small quantities entirely BY HAND. Each clock is painted individually by the artist Conny Haas deep in the Black Forest – the same way it has been done for centuries. Owning this clock is your chance to take part in a long tradition of arts and crafts of the beautiful and mysterious Black Forest.
When the clock strikes the hour or half-hour the door opens, a cuckoo appears and calls along with the clock’s gong strike.
This clock is hand made in the Black Forest in Germany. The mechanical brass movement is driven by two weights and time escapes with the tick of a traditional pendulum. The cuckoo call sound is made by two wooden whistles with bellows inside the clock case.
Even the packaging has old-world charm, as only paper is used. The factory packing is made with recycled materials. This clock makes a great gift for the young and old alike. Perfect for modern or traditional decor!
