Wood Chopper & Water Wheel 1 Day Mechanical Chalet Cuckoo Clock 33cm By Anton Schneider

Wood Chopper & Water Wheel 1 Day Mechanical Chalet Cuckoo Clock 33cm By Anton Schneider (Anton Schneider MT 6575/9) 🔷LINK TO PRODUCT: https://www.clockshop.com.au/wood-cho... Measuring 33cm in height*, this beautiful clock portrays a delightful scene in the bavarian countryside, featuring a multi level chalet house with a unique half timbered facade and a hand laid shingled roof. Out the front of the chalet to the right is a wood chopper; whilst a water wheel and bench seat are featured to the left. This fascinating scene also includes a wooden clock dial in the centre of the chalet, and hand painted details including blue window shutters and flowers in the windowsill. Directly above the clock dial are colourful dancers situated on a balcony, underneath the cuckoo bird. Rounding out this unique clock is a timber pendulum that hangs below the clock itself, along with the weights. Perhaps the most unique aspect of this cuckoo clock is the artistic half timbered feature on the facade which has curved wooden panels rather than straight panels as evident in normal designs. Chalet style cuckoo clocks are the most famous and common type of cuckoo clock, and are often featured in the shape of alpine houses. They usually feature carvings that represent life in the mountain regions of Europe (mainly around Southern Germany, The Black Forest, Switzerland and Austria). The in-built cuckoo of this clock calls the time each hour and once at half past through a door that opens, with an automatic night off function to allow you a sound sleep. There are two melodies that alternate with this clock after the cuckoo calls - Edelweiss and Happy Wanderer. This particular clock is a 1 day mechanism, and therefore needs to be wound once a day. The particular automaton (moving parts) for this clock include the wood chopper, the water wheel, and the dancers on the balcony who twirl when the music plays on the full hour. 🔷About the Clock Shop🔷 Located in Montville on the picturesque Sunshine Coast Hinterland, the Clock Shop has been a long standing iconic small business, owned and operated within the same family since 1993.
