Wood Chopper, Dancers & Water Wheel Battery Chalet Cuckoo Clock 34cm By Engstler
A Highly Detailed Chalet Cuckoo Clock This charming Battery Chalet Cuckoo Clock By ENGSTLER represents a fine example of a genuine, high quality hand-crafted Black Forest cuckoo clock, produced from Schwarzwald in Germany, a region otherwise known as the Black Forest. Measuring 34cm in height*, this endearing chalet style cuckoo clock portrays the scene of an alpine chalet in the mountainous woodlands of Germany. The chalet features colourful trees, a water wheel, a wood chopper as well as dancers situated on a balcony above the clock dial. Chalet cuckoo clocks are the most famous and common type of cuckoo clock, and are often shaped as alpine houses and feature carvings that represent life in the mountain region of Europe (mainly around Southern Germany, Switzerland and Austria). Chalet style cuckoo clocks can range from simple arrangements of carved features to very detailed scenes with many moving parts (known as automaton). The in-built cuckoo of this beautiful clock calls the time each hour, with a permanent automatic night-time shut-off that is controlled by a light sensor. When the room is dark enough, the cuckoo will no longer sound allowing you a sound sleep, before recommencing as the room lights up again the next morning. There is also a manual override to silence the cuckoo altogether should that be preferred. This particular chalet cuckoo clock also features optional music with 12 different traditional melodies. This beautifully designed clock by ENGSTLER is a charming timepiece, suitable for those looking for a quartz battery cuckoo clock that is reliable and very precise at keeping time, whilst keeping in design features using carving methods that have been practised for hundreds of years. 🔷Model Number: Engstler 491 QMT 🔷LINK TO PRODUCT: https://www.clockshop.com.au/wood-cho... 🔷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.
